The Jan plan trip to Edith Wharton’s estate in the Berkshires of Massachusetts was a big success for students in EN413 - Author Course: Edith Wharton.

On Tuesday, January 10th, we took a long tour (which included an examination of the servants’ quarters—we’ve been focusing on her representations of working-class characters), had a lovely catered lunch in the gallery, and then held class in her drawing room. We discussed The House of Mirth, which she wrote while living at the Mount. (It was fun to see the very spot where she penned it while lying in bed!)
