Join us for a 75-minute illustrated talk on Wharton’s homes from New York and Newport to Paris, the Riviera and Lenox, Massachusetts

Writer Edith Wharton, the astute chronicler of Gilded Age society and whose birthday falls on January 24, was passionate about the interior spaces in which she lived. In fact, her first published book was The Decoration of Houses, a book of interior design co-authored with architect Ogden Codman, Jr and published in 1897.

In her homes in Newport, France and certainly in The Mount, the grand New England country house she built ground up in 1901, Wharton was able to realize her own ideas of design and gracious living. 

Join Carl Raymond, host of The Gilded Gentleman history podcast for this special celebration and unique tour through the spaces in which Edith lived throughout her life from her childhood home in New York to her villas outside Paris and in the south of France. 

This unique talk, featuring contemporary as well as rare archival images, will include an intimate look at her home The Mount in Lenox, Massachusetts as well as a very special tour of Wharton’s library.

Carl Raymond, host of The Gilded Gentleman history podcast (produced by Bowery Boys Media) is a specialist in the life and work of Edith Wharton.   He lectures frequently on Edith Wharton including conducting the tour of Edith Wharton’s New York for Bowery Boys Walks.
