520    "This book makes a claim for the centrality of libraries 
       to the mythos of self-making in late nineteenth and early 
       twentieth-century American culture, focusing on Edith 
       Wharton as its primary case in point. Wharton was never 
       formally educated; rather, her private library collection,
       portions of which she inherited from her father, formed 
       the basis of an education that would, in time, directly 
       contribute to her success as a popular author"--|cProvided
