Summer is a novel by Edith Wharton, which was published in 1917 by Charles Scribner's Sons. While most novels by Edith Wharton dealt with New York's upper-class society, this is one of two novels by Wharton that were set in New England. Its themes include social class, the role of women in society, destructive relationships, sexual awakening and the desire of its protagonist, named Charity Royall. The novel was rather controversial for its time and is one of the less famous among her novels because of its subject matter.Edith Wharton (January 24, 1862 – August 11, 1937) was an American writer and designer.

She was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1996.Among her other well known works are The House of Mirth, the novella Ethan Frome, and several notable ghost stories.
