An impressive study, whose points of comparison resonate with my own understanding of America as a migratory culture freeing the caged birds of Europe into the exciting dangers of flight, flight from class and tradition. I have not read either book but Wharton's themes are familiar from the Martin Scorcese's 1993 film featuring Daniel Day Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer.
very interesting and informative
