Edie Thornton

We at the Edith Wharton Society are saddened by the recent death of Edie Thornton, our vice president, on October 2, 2007. A wonderful colleague, scholar, mentor, and friend, Edie was associated with the Wharton Society for many years, and she will be sorely missed. A memorial page is available on the site of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater for those who wish to leave a remembrance (https://guestbook2007.uww.edu/guestbook.aspx), and the Wharton Society will also pay tribute to her at the Wharton conference this June.
