"Keeping up with the Joneses" is said to reffer to her father, George Frederic, family [Benstock, Shari, No Gifts from Chance: A Biography of Edith Wharton (New York: Scribner's, 1994), 26.] She combined her insider's view of America's privileged classes with a brilliant, natural wit to write humorous and incisive novels and short stories. As such, she was well-acquainted with many of her era's literary and public figures, including In 1885, at twenty-three years of age, she married Edward (Teddy) Robbins Wharton, who was twelve years her senior. From a well-established Boston family, he was a sportsman and a gentleman of Miss Wharton's social class and shared her love of travel, although they had little in common intellectually. He began spending money on younger women and this began to take a toll on Wharton's mental health. They divorced in 1913, after he suffered a nervous breakdown and was confined to a hospital. Edith and Edward were married for twenty-eight years. Besides her writing, Wharton was a highly regarded landscape architect, interior designer, and taste-maker of her time. She wrote several influential books, including her first published work," Literary success In 1901 she built The Mount, her estate in Although she spent many months traveling in Europe nearly every year, The Mount was her primary residence until 1911.

In the view of Judith E. Funston, in the entry she wrote for "American National Biography" about Wharton, "What is most notable about "A Backward Glance", however, is what it does not tell: her criticism of Lucretia Jones [her mother] , her difficulties with Teddy, and her affair with Morton Fullerton, which did not come to light until her papers, deposited in Yale’s Beinecke Rare Book Room and Manuscript Library, were opened in 1968."
