| | | APSA_NY13-308 | | Scientific Paper 3: Edith Wharton’s Two Worlds: Overcoming Phobia & Sexual Problems Speakers: Deanna Holtzman, Nancy Kulish Edith Wharton, the pre-eminent American writer, left a great deal of autobiographical material, letters, diaries, plus, of course, a vast collection of literary fiction and non-fiction. A fascinating theme runs through much of her work — that of living or being trapped between “two worlds.” This theme is critical to understanding Wharton’s psychology and the psychology of women in general. The authors will examine an unusual neurotic phobia suffered by Wharton as it is related to the theme of two worlds, and link these ideas more broadly to common sexual conflicts in women.
