The Age of Innocence: Authoritative Text, Background and Contexts, Sources, Criticism by Edith Wharton

5.0

---

Heartbreaking historical romance in "Gilded Age" New York City upper-class society. This is both a love story and a social critique. The writing and descriptions are beautiful! No wonder it won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for fiction.
