Summary/Abstract: Edith Wharton lived much of her life in France. This short paper proposes to study her perspective on France and the French by comparing two of her books: “A Motor-Flight through France” (first published 1909) and “French Ways and their Meanings” (first published 1919). Both demonstrate Wharton’s keen sense of observation and her passionate discovery of the French culture.
