Edith Wharton's Italian Gardens
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Bulfinch Press
- Publish date: 03/01/1998
Description:
Edith Wharton's current and richly deserved renaissance, fueled by acclaimed film adaptations of three of her novels, The Age of Innocence, The Buccaneers, and Ethan Frome, has given her work a large contemporary audience. Wharton was also a passionate gardener -- and her descriptions of Italian gardens are among the most lyrical ever written.
Expand description
Wharton devotees, gardeners, and Italophiles alike will delight in following Vivian Russell as she tours Italy in Wharton's footsteps. Russell combines passages from Wharton's 1904 travel book Italian Villas and Their Gardens with insights from other literary garden visitors such as Charles Dickens and Henry James, and a lavish array of 180 new color photographs by Russell that show the gardens and villas today -- plus 30 historical photographs that present them as they were in Wharton's golden age.
