The Custom of the Country

The Custom of the Country

Oxford World’s Classics

Edith Wharton’s satiric anatomy of American society in the first decade of the twentieth century both appalled and fascinated its first reviewers. It follows the career of Undine Spragg, as she pursues her schemes and social ambitions in a world of shifting values, where triumph is swiftly followed by disillusion.
