Description: Edith Wharton was devoted to the French people and their culture. During the First World War, while living in France and devoting herself to numerous war and relief efforts, she wrote several essays about the French and the unique attributes of their civilization, having in mind particularly the need for both Americans and the English to understand the ways of a people whose nation they were defending in the Great War.

These pieces were first published in book form in 1919, under the title French Ways and Their Meaning.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. xiv-xv).
