First published in 1913, The Custom of the Country is a trenchant novel
which illustrates the dangers of excessive ambition. Its heroine,
Undine Spragg, is one of the most ruthless characters in all of
literature. She is as selfishly unscrupulous as she is fiercely
beautiful. Her rise to the top of New York’s society elite from the
nouveau riche provides a poignant and provocative commentary on the
excessive aspirations of the upwardly mobile in their quest to climb
the class ladder. One of Edith Wharton’s most acclaimed works, The
Custom of the Country is a blistering indictment of materialism, power,
and misplaced values.
