Description

While Wharton is best known for her searing autopsies on American aristocracy, 'Verses' reveals a more introspective side of the author.

This was her first work, published by her parents, and swiftly to be followed by 'The House of Mirth' and 'The Age of Innocence,' the ladder which was adapted for the silver screen in 1993, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, and Michelle Pfeiffer.'Verses' reveals Wharton's love for Shakespeare, in poems such as 'Heaven,' and 'Maiden Arise.' Through her work, the author explores the themes of life, love, and death, and sets aside some well-chosen words to write about the changing of the seasons.

A wonderful read for Wharton fans who want to get to know the glass ceiling breaking author a little bit better.-
