Eleanor Bourg Nicholson

In addition to scholarly pursuits, Eleanor Bourg Nicholson occasionally strays into fiction, including her epistolary novella, The Letters of Magdalen Montague, and her Gothic novels, A Bloody Habit, Brother Wolf, and Wake of Malice. For the sake of her children, who eagerly requested a book they too could read, she wrote The Hound of the Lord, a children’s biography of St. Dominic (Ignatius Press, 2023). She is a Lay Dominican, which may partly explain the frequency with which OPs gaily trip through her writing. (She also formally apologized to the friars for throwing them into the Gothic atmosphere. Honestly, though, it makes a lot of sense.)

A former assistant executive editor for Dappled Things, she is assistant editor for the Saint Aust

Edith Wharton

Edith Wharton emerged as one of America’s most insightful novelists, deftly exposing the tensions between societal expectation and personal desire through her vivid portrayals of upper-class life. Drawing from her deep familiarity with New York’s privileged “aristocracy,” she offered readers a keenly observed and piercingly honest vision of Gilded Age society.
Her work reached a milestone when she became the first woman to receive the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, awarded for The Age of Innocence. This novel highlights the constraining rituals of 1870s New York society and remains a defining portrait of elegance laced with regret.
Wharton’s literary achievements span a wide canvas. The House of Mirth presents a tragic, vividly drawn character s
