Product: Summer (illustrated) Summer" was written in what Edith Wharton described as ‘a high pitch of creative joy’ in 1917, and was first published by D. Appleton later the same year. Wharton regarded it as a twin piece to her earlier novella "Ethan Frome" (1911) (and she even called it ‘my hot Ethan’). Like the earlier narrative the events of the story are set in a small, poor town in a remote part of New England.

"Summer", conversely, deals with a far less privileged group living in an unidentified rural area of New England.

Charity comes from poverty and is taken in by the wealthy and successful Lawyer Royall when she is five years old. Lawyer develops a romantic interest in Charity after his wife dies, but things go awry. First when Lawyer loses drunken control and enters her bedroom when she is seventeen and then again in response to the apparent love between her and the already betrothed young architect, Lucius Harney. A predictable result of her actions forces her to make some difficult choices

Product: Summer Summer is a novel by Edith Wharton, which was published in 1917 by Charles Scribner's Sons. While most novels by Edith Wharton dealt with New York's upper-class society, this is one of two novels by Wharton that were set in New England. Its themes include social class, the role of women in society, destructive relationships, sexual awakening and the desire of its protagonist, named Charity Royall. The novel was rather controversial for its time and is one of the less famous among her novels because of its subject matter.

Product: Summer (Illustrated) This edition includes 10 illustrations. Edith Wharton, whose work depicting upper-class society in Victorian-era America earned her a Pulitzer in 1920 for The Age of Innocence, saw her eleventh novel, Summer, published in 1917. Set in New England and focusing on Charity Royall, the ward of her town’s most prominent citizen, Summer is filled with first romance and a love which must end as the year’s warmest months turn to autumn. As provocative as it is realistic in the rendering of its characters, who are by turns bold, cruel and passionate, Summer’s rural heroine struggles no less than her wealthy, cosmopolitan contemporaries.
