First published in 1920 and awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1921, The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton is a masterful critique of the rigid social codes governing Gilded Age New York. Set in the 1870s, the novel follows Newland Archer, a man poised to marry the lovely and proper May Welland, whose quiet grace and conventional values perfectly align with the world he has been raised to embrace. But Newland's carefully ordered life begins to unravel when he falls for May's cousin, Countess Ellen Olenska -- a woman whose independence, experience, and refusal to conform threaten the very foundation of that world. This edition of The Age of Innocence has been carefully prepared for modern readers including editorial notes and commentary and exploratory discussion questions designed to enrich the reader's experience and offer fresh insight into Edith Wharton's classic work.
