Recensioner i media

“Laura Rattray expands our visions of Edith Wharton and, in doing so, makes Wharton’s life and authorship far more representative of women’s experience than previously understood. Edith Wharton and Genre is indispensable reading not only for Wharton scholars but also all those interested in women’s writing across genre.” (Myrto Drizou, Women's Studies, February 1, 2021)
