Edith Wharton in Context
Edith Wharton was one of America's most popular and prolific writers, becoming the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1921. In a publishing career spanning seven decades, Wharton lived and wrote through a period of tremendous social, cultural and historical change. Bringing together a team of international scholars, this volume provides the first substantial text dedicated to the various contexts that frame Wharton's remarkable career. Each essay offers a clearly argued and lucid assessment of Wharton's work as it relates to seven key areas: life and works, critical receptions, book and publishing history, arts and aesthetics, social designs, time and place, and literary milieux. These sections provide a broad and accessible resource for students coming to Wharton for the first time while offering scholars new critical insights.

Cinematic License: Editorial Imprints on the Hollywood Novels of Horace McCoy
In the early 1930s, Horace McCoy joined the literary exodus to Hollywood. Like his contemporaries, McCoy found that Hollywood offered both financial salvation and material for two invaluable contributions to the genre deemed by Leslie Fiedler as \"the great literary invention of the Thirties.\" In fact the thirties would prove McCoy's most productive decade as a novelist, one in which he completed three of his five published novels, including his two Hollywood texts, the dramatically titled They Shoot Horses, Don't They? and I Should Have Stayed Home. Here, Rattray discusses the editorial impact of McCoy's writing in the thirties and the repercussions of his Hollywood fiction.
