Explores Edith Wharton's career-long concern with a 19th-century visual culture that limited female artistic agency and expression. This work studies the lesser-known short stories and novels, revealing Wharton's re-workings of texts by Browning, Poe, Balzac, George Eliot, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and, most significantly, Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
