Wharton was an enormous admirer of James and had sought for over a decade to befriend him. Though her first impressions on him failed to catch the attention of the well-known writer 20 years her senior, James eventually came around and grew to admire Wharton. James would eventually send her a letter on October 26, 1900, which sparked a lifelong friendship. Unlike Wharton, James did not have the deep knowledge of New York society or American rural life which nourished her work and made her the chronicler of an age. Because of his childhood spent in Europe and his subsequent exile in England, he lacked her ability to write with accuracy about the sophisticated and restricted life of the rich in old New York as she did. Thus James grew to admire Wharton and wonder at her energy. Ref V 5. N° de réf. du vendeur 024661

Vendeur : The London Bookworm, East Sussex, Royaume-Uni
Cloth. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback First Edition A fine copy 412 pages. Illustrated. Twenty years James's junior, Wharton was just at the outset of her literary career when the friendship of these two expatriate novelists blossomed. James, comfortably settled in London, found in Wharton's company the sustained intimacy which his circle of young, attractive men could not provide. To Wharton, James was "Dearest Cher Maitre," supportive confidant during her frenetic extramarital fling with his longtime friend William Morton Fullerton. The James-Wharton meeting of minds had "a piquant touch of the erotic," as Powers (editor, with Leon Edel, of James's notebooks) observes; James nicknamed her automobile "The Vehicle of Passion." Later, he became an almost avuncular comrade. Wharton, unbeknownst to him, diverted her own Scribner royalties so that James received from the publisher the largest advance of his career. Nearly all of the surviving letters are by James, but we get an exchange as complex, rich and varied as the correspondents' fiction.
