Scott's association with both the Edith Wharton Society
and Edith Wharton Restoration at The Mount, in Lenox, Massachusetts,
began in 1983. Scott served as the Restoration’s first intern
in 1985, and, after receiving an M.S. in historic preservation from
the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at
Columbia University in 1986, he went on to become Archivist, Historian,
Assistant Director, Deputy Director, and Senior Vice President at The
Mount. Anyone lucky enough to participate in one of Scott’s walking
tours, “Edith Wharton’s Old New York,” remembers
the animation and joy Scott brought to his scholarship about Wharton
and the New York City she lived in. He brought that same energetic
joy to his restoration work at The Mount . One of his many accomplishments
while there was to research and write the historical section of The
Mount’s Historic Structure Report, the document upon which all
restoration and interpretation of the house rests. The Report was published
in 1997 as The Mount: Home of Edith Wharton, now in its third
printing. Scott’s scholarship also included work on Edith Wharton and film, about which he organized sessions for the Wharton conference in Paris in 1991 and the conference at Yale in 1995, both sponsored by The Edith Wharton Society. His article “Edith Wharton and Kate Spencer” appears in the Norton Critical Edition of Ethan Frome, and his essay “A History of Edith Wharton on Film” was published in Japan in Edith Wharton’s Two Worlds: America and Europe. Scott also published several articles in the Edith Wharton Review and was working on an edition of Wharton's poetry when he died. Submissions for the Scott Marshall commemorative issue of EWR may address any of the subjects dear to Scott: Wharton and film, The Mount, Wharton and New York City, Wharton and Lenox, Wharton's poetry, Wharton and architecture/decoration. We are also seeking short (250-300 words) anecdotes about Scott's interaction with members of the Wharton Society. Submissions, due November 1, 2003, should be 15-20 pages and should use MLA 5th edition style with endnotes as needed. To publish in the Review one must be a member of the Wharton Society; we will gladly provide membership information. Please send copies to both Kathy Fedorko and Irene Goldman-Price: Kathy Fedorko Irene Goldman-Price
