Podcast: Emily Orlando & Anne Schuyler on Edith Wharton
Dear colleagues and friends,
I hope you’re all doing well and are enjoying the first glimpses of spring. I am writing to share a podcast by two magnificent Wharton scholars, our very own Dr. Emily J. Orlando, and Anne Schuyler, the Curatorial and Visitor Services Director at The Mount. The podcast is a wonderful overview of Wharton’s life and work for the American Writers Museum, for which Dr. Orlando has also curated the Edith Wharton installation. Here is the link to the podcast, which you can share with students and colleagues:
With many thanks and all my good wishes,

New Books: The Old Maid
Cita Press has published a new edition of Edith Wharton’s The Old Maid. In this 1924 novella, cousins Delia and Charlotte conspire to raise Charlotte’s secret daughter right under the nose of “old New York” society. Wharton expertly examines her characters and the social contradictions they exploit to protect their family in a story that is as biting as it is tender and, at times, perplexingly triumphant.
We are thrilled to bring this book to new audiences with a free, open access edition available online to all readers with an internet connection. The book is available in English and Spanish: https://citapress.org/#books/old-maid
On Tuesday, May 17 at 6 pm ET, journalist and author Krithika Varagur, who wrote the foreword for this edition, will discuss the book and Wharton’s evolving legacy with Cita Press editorial coordinator Jessi Haley.
