Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was an American novelist, short story writer, and designer. Wharton drew upon her insider's knowledge of the upper class New York "aristocracy" to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Literature, for her novel The Age of Innocence. She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996. Among her other well known works are the The House of Mirth and the novella Ethan Frome. Despite not publishing her first novel until she was forty, Wharton became an extraordinarily productive writer. In addition to her 15 novels, seven novellas, and eighty-five short stories, she published poetry, books on design, travel, literary and cultural criticism, and a memoir.

HAY, verbena and mignonette scented the languid July day. Large strawberries, crimsoning through sprigs of mint, floated in a bowl of pale yellow cup on theverandah table: an old Georgian bowl, with complex reflections on polygonal flanks, engraved with the Raycie arms between lions' heads. Now and again the gentlemen, warned by a menacing hum, slapped their cheeks, their brows or their bald crowns;but they did so as furtively as possible, for Mr. Halston Raycie, on whose verandahthey sat, would not admit that there were mosquitoes at High Point.The strawberries came from Mr. Raycie's kitchen garden; the Georgian bowlcame from his great-grandfather (father of the Signer); the verandah was that of hiscountry-house, which stood on a height above the Sound, at a convenient drivingdistance from his town house in Canal Street."Another glass, Commodore," said Mr. Raycie, shaking out a cambrichandkerchief the size of a table-cloth, and applying a corner of it to his steamingbr

Lewis Raycie, a soft-spoken and thoughtful young American, has just come of age and is departing on a well-funded two-year grand tour of Europe. His overbearing father gives him clear instructions to collect art--the works of the well-known masters--that will form the beginning of a family gallery and enhance the Raycie legacy. Lewis strays from this mission and arrives back in New York with new works by obscure artists whose importance won't be understood until much later; the rift this causes in the family sets Lewis's life in an entirely new direction.Published in Wharton's 1924 collection Old New York alongside other novellas that look back at the nineteenth century, False Dawn examines the hopes and disappointments of 1840s New York.
