Edith Wharton: In Morocco

from The Gilded Age and Progressive Era

Edith Wharton ranks as one of the Gilded Age's most prolific and popular writers. In this episode, Professor Stacy Holden tells us about her research on Wharton's lesser known travelogue In Morocco, a revealing account of the author's travels to the French and Spanish colony. It tells us a great deal about American and European imperialism, and the Orientalism that pervaded her thinking. Essential Reading: Edith Wharton, In Morocco (1920).
