Journal Article
Writing Against Reform: Aesthetic Realism in the Progressive Era
2023
Overview
During a period of American history when numerous authors used their writing as a form of political action, the subjects of this book advocated for a literature of \"ideas rather than arguments\" (64). [...]to scholarship that figures the novel's heroine, Edna Pontellier, as a woman whose radical claim to self-possession put her at odds with the Victorian ideology of sanctified motherhood, Zibrak's analysis addresses problems more intrinsic to the character herself, namely, her misguided ideas about art. In 1916, Wharton published 7he Book of the Homeless, a collection of essays, poetry, and art, to raise money to aid French civilian refugees.
