Summary/Abstract: After achieving literary success in the United States, Edith Wharton moved to France in 1913. This newly acquired physical distance from her homeland also gave her a critical distance. A short study of Wharton’s portrayal of Americans living abroad with their cultural differences and generation gaps, and an analysis of their language difficulties and communication problems in The Children will reveal the influence of her adopted culture on her perception of American society.
