Publisher Description

Among the many twentieth century treatises on the art of writing, there were few that attempted to analyze the development of form and style. But Edith Wharton's bestselling classic, "The Writing of Fiction" did just that.

Complete with chapters devoted to the invaluable insight on character, pacing, structure, the short story, the novel, and a wide-range of approaches to modern fiction, the book is a window into the mind of one of America's most important and enduring voices.
