<div>VW ack’d on 18 Nov 1920 the receipt of a copy of “The Age of Innocence” in
an uncollected letter to Messrs Appleton & Co. (letter pub’d in the
“Virginia Woolf Bulletin” (Jan. 2011)). Stephen Barkway discusses VW’s
published comments on Wharton – and Wharton’s irritation – in his accompanying
note.</div>

<div style="font-size: small; text-decoration: none; font-family: Calibri; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; display: inline;">This
is very, very interesting, thank you for the heads up.
<div>I have read every word of the diaries and letters at least three times,
where VW's casual reading and influences are most frequently to be found. I
can’t remembering her mentioning Edith Wharton in any connection, and the author
here notes he cannot find any record of VW’s having read <i>Age of
Innocence.</i> </div>
<div>What interesting <i>ouevres </i>to compare, though. And how interesting
Woolf’s contention that Wharton was not a real American — only Walt Whitman, of
the fluid gender, was.</div>
<div>Thank you again.</div>

<div>This recent essay in <i>The</i> <i>New Yorker </i>makes a good case
