Description
An account of the resource
With an inscription from Sally Norton: "E.W. from S.N. Jan 1. 1905" <br /><br />Bound in limp red morocco leather with gilt-stamped decorations on the cover. An illustrated frontispiece shows the author. Penciled markings appear throughout the text. <br /><br />Wharton mentions Rossetti's <em>The House of Life</em> in her <em>The Age of Innocence</em>; Newland Archer receives the book, along with a number of other recent English titles, as part of a shipment from London. As Wharton narrates, "Suddenly, among them, he lit on a small volume of verse which he had ordered because the name had attracted him: 'The House of Life.' He took it up, and found himself plunged in an atmosphere unlike any he had ever breathed in books." See <em>The Age of Innocence</em>, Chapter 15. <br />

Description
An account of the resource
Collection retains 9 of the original 10 volumes. Volume X (<em>Also sprach Zarathustra </em>/ <em>Thus Spoke Zarathustra</em>) is missing from the collection. <br /><br />Volume VIII (<span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Will to Power, Book I</span>) contains notes pertaining to Wharton's plans for her novel <em>The Fruit of the Tree</em>, including the observation that "50 grains of veronal is the minimum fatal dose," in addition to other markings and annotations. These notes are sometimes erroneously ascribes to Wharton's novel <em>The House of Mirth</em>; both works feature scenes of accidental overdose, though the date of Nietzsche volumes indicates that Wharton acquired the set after the publication of <em>The House of Mirth</em>.<br /><br />The whole set is bound in half red morocco with marbeled endpapers, and Wharton's bookplate appears on each volume.<br /><br />In his <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Edith Wharton's Library</span> catalog, George Ramsden expresses doubt that Wharton ever owned the <em>complete</em> set (including Zarathustra), noting that the binder's marks and unnumbered spines are suggestive of her having purchased the volumes consecutively. In a 1908 letter that Wharton wrote to Sally Norton, she comments: "I am deep in my novel, & reading, as a diversion, between times, <em>Jenseits von Gut und Böse</em>. I have never read any Nietzsche before, except a glance at <em>Zarathustra</em>, which didn't tempt me, but this is <em>great</em> fun -- full of wit & originality & poetry -- dashes of Meredith and even Whitman. He has no system & not much logic, but wonderful flashes of insight, & a power of breaking through conventions that is most exhilerating, & clears the air as our thunderstorms do just now -- not! I think it is salutory, now and then, to be made to realize what he calls 'die Unwerthung aller Werthe," & really get back to a wholesome basis of naked instinct." <br /><br />See Ramsden, p. 90 and Lewis and Lewis, eds., <em>Letters </em>(Scribners, 1988), p. 159.

An account of the resource
Bound in marbled boards with a note from the publisher included: "With the author's compliments." The note is pro forma, but the words "the author's" have been handwritten in pencil. <br /><br />Lubbock's only novel, which Wharton privately criticized in a letter to Gailliard Lapsley, calling it "a strange product in the light of [Lubbock's] private affairs." Here, Wharton is referring to Lubbock's latent homosexuality (in spite of his being married), a situation which she saw likewise reflected in this novel. See Wharton's letter to Lapsley dated 30 October 1925, included in R.W.B. and Nancy Lewis' <span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Letters of Edith Wharton</span>, p. 486-7.
