Ethan Frome

Edith Wharton

ISBN: 9781840224085

Language: English

Publisher: Wordsworth Editions

Year of publication: 2004

Number of pages: 117 pages

With this intensely moving short novel, Edith Wharton set out ’to draw life as t really was’ in the lonely villages and desolate farms of the harsh New England mountains. Through the eyes of a visitor from the city, trapped for a winter in snowbound Starkfield, readers glimpse the hidden histories of this austere and beautiful land. Piecing together the story of monosyllabic Ethan Frome, his grim wife, Zeena, and Mattie Silver, her charming cousin, Wharton explores psychological dead-lock: frustration, longing, resentment, passion. First published in 1911, the novella stunned its public with its consummate handling of the unfolding drama, and has remained for many readers the most compelling, and subtle of all Wharton’s fictions.
