Edith Wharton - "The Buccaneers"
I am reading "The Buccaneers" by Edith Wharton.
Edith died in 1937 before she had finished writing the book. Consequently the manuscript was left unfinished for fifty years. Then, working from the author's detailed notes,Marion Mainwaring, Wharton expert and noted writer in her own right, added the final chapters to complete the book. I have searched this site for anything on this book, but can't find anything. I am wondering why this book is not included on this site. Can anyone help? Regards- Charles.

i think its not here because it was published post 1923, so it falls under copyright laws, and is therefore not available in public domain.
I sure that if you post a discussion thread in the general section people who have read the book might discuss it with you.

Where is "The Buccaneers"?
I wonder why "The Buccaneers" by Edith Wharton is not included on the list of her books. It was the very last book by this American author before she died in 1937. The book was left unfinished by her but was completed by Marion Mainwearing (author and writer in her own right). I think this book should be added to the bibliography.
Regards-  Charles

This was answered in one of your earlier posts where you asked the same Q. Because it was published post 1923 it is not yet in the public domain & cant be put up on the site for copyright reasons.
