内容简介：
An independent scholar collects her essays written from 1972-97 on Wharton, Henry James, and their circle. As well as offering insights into the symbiotic relationship between Wharton (1862-1937) and James, in which he inspired the forms of The Age of Innocence and some of her fictional characters (and vice versa), Tinter analyzes Wharton's textual relationships with other authors, and Raphaelite art allusions in her writings.
