| Summary | "The Book of the Homeless" by Edith Wharton et al. is a collection of prose and poetry written during the early 20th century. This work is published as a humanitarian project to support refugees, particularly focusing on the plight of those from Belgium during World War I. The anthology features contributions from various notable writers and artists, reflecting on themes of loss, homelessness, and the resilience of the human spirit. The opening of the book includes a poignant introduction that outlines the tragic reality faced by refugees fleeing war-torn Belgium and highlights the humanitarian efforts spearheaded by Wharton and her associates. It presents a narrative of the countless individuals, especially children, who have lost their homes and families, weaving in emotive accounts of their suffering and the initiatives taken to provide aid and comfort. Wharton's introduction sets the stage for the various literary works that follow, emphasizing both the urgency of the cause and the collective response to help restore hope to those affected by war.
