The Myth of Imperiled Whiteness and Ethan Frome
Blanketed in whiteness—bleak, frozen, snowed in—the widely read and taught Ethan Frome has a little-recognized racist subtext. Expressing early-twentieth-century nativist anxieties about immigrants of color, Wharton warns that old, white, Yankee New England is disappearing, its farms withering, as swarthy foreigners increasingly dominate the newly industrialized landscape

LATE IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Harriet Beecher Stowe announced that God wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin (I852). The novel by then seemed too monumental even to its author to have been imagined by one woman.1 Earlier in her life, in contrast, Stowe had no doubt that she wrote the subversive book or that she was inspired to write it, despite marital and household irritations, precisely because she was a woman. In a letter to her husband ten years before th…

Critics remark similarity between Wharton's entangled quadrangle of lovers and James's quartet in The Golden Bowl (I904), note that her manipulation of point of view compares favorably with his technical mastery, and conclude more often than not by looking for a Jamesian moral at center of her novel.
