At the center of American history is a hole—a gap where some scholars’ indifference or disdain has too long stood in for the true story of the American Midwest. A first-ever chronicle of the Midwest’s formative century, The Good Country restores this American heartland to its central place in the nation’s history.

too many lists but central thesis is un controversial; we ignore the middle of the country.

With profound empathy and insight, Hermione Lee brilliantly interweaves Wharton's life with the evolution of her writing, the full scope of which shows her to be far more daring than her stereotype as lapidarian chronicler of the Gilded Age. In its revelation of both the woman and the writer, Edith Wharton is a landmark biography.

Fascinating Life

I really enjoyed this biography, even though I have next to nothing in common with Wharton. You have to admire Wharton's love of gardens, her high standards, her organizational skills, insatiable reading of books, her devotion to France during the war. At the same time, the author does not shy away from her subject's anti-semitism and racism - which I think a lot of other biographers deliberately stay clear of. I really appreciated how the author deals with Wharton's inability to appreciate the next generation of writers. It will spur me to read more of Wharton's books, and watch the movie adaptations.
