Essay Excerpt

"Since its publication in 1938, readers have been at odds in their assessment of The Buccaneers, Edith Wharton’s only novel set in England. While her literary executor, Gaillard Lapsley, and many early reviewers on both sides of the Atlantic saw great promise in the unfinished novel, a few critics like Edmund Wilson wrote the work off as ‘an old-fashioned story for girls’ and judged Wharton’s skills ‘dulled’ in this her last book. In the 1980s, however, feminist critics found much to value in the novel: from protagonist Annabel St. George’s self-actualization to the comradeship of the American girls and the close relationship between Annabel and her European governess."
