Far from the emotionally withdrawn and neurasthenic victim of earlier portraits, she is revealed here as an ambitious, disciplined, and self-determined woman who fashioned life to her own desires. Drawing on government records, legal and medical documents, and recently opened collections of Wharton's letters, Shari Benstock's biography offers new information on what have been called the key mysteries of her life: the question of her paternity, her troubled relations with her mother and older brothers, her marriage to manic-depressive Teddy Wharton, and her extramarital affair with Morton Fullerton.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735225434400,"sku":"NEW0292702744","price":62.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61R0fWPQe4L.jpg?v=1779480530","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/no-gifts-from-chance-a-biography-of-edith-wharton-louann-atkins-temple-women-culture-series-0292702744","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
