Penelope Vita-Finzi explores Edith Wharton's concept of the artist and shows how her views about the education and environment necessary for the writer were rigid and consciously rooted in 19th century thought rather than being influenced by contemporary literary and intellectual debates. She thus attempts a readjustment of the curent view of Edith Wharton which tries to fit into the mould of woman writer .
