The Custom of the Country
Edited with an Introduction and Notes by
Linda Wagner-Martin
Wharton blends sharp cultural criticism
with a biting indictment of American
culture. This is a portrait of a woman
advancing herself through matrimony in
a world where no business transaction is
honest, and no marriage is for love.
