Francophile Edith Wharton is buried in Versailles. One of the few foreign front-line correspondents in France during World War I, she penned this collection of articles to orient American soldiers headed to the country. Articles such as “First Impressions,” “Intellectual Honesty,” “Taste,” “Continuity,” and “The New Frenchwoman” reveal the author’s love of her adopted land.
