Summary
  • The late George Apley: A satire of Boston's upper class. The title character is a Harvard-educated WASP living on Beacon Hill in downtown Boston. It is an epistolary novel, made up mostly of letters to and from the title character.
  • Wickford Point: This novel offers a moving evocation of an eccentric, fraying New England aristocratic family (including an amusing send-up of an Ivy League professor).
  • H.M. Pulham, Esquire: Harry Pulham is sweet, pathetic and a bit of a snob but very endearing and wants to do what is right and what is expected of him in early 1900s Boston society.
