About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 54 full-page plates by William Merritt Chase, John Sloan and George Bellows. A young wife discovers that being kept comfortable is not the same as being alive, and goes out to earn her own living in the theater. Webster wrote it in 1916, when that plot was still an argument rather than a convention, and gave the husband a fair hearing. This edition binds 54 plates of painting by John Sloan, William Merritt Chase, George Bellows and others, alongside six illustrations restored and coloured for this volume.
