Newland Archer, an intelligent and discerning young lawyer in 1870s
New York, falls in love with his fiancee's married cousin Ellen,
who is spirited, independent and indifferent to the high-society
conventions that have smothered Newland's future wife. Wharton's
wry examination of Newland's moral and spiritual struggle shows
influences of her friend and mentor Henry James. (Kirkus UK)
"Contexts" constructs the historical foundation for this very
historical novel. Many documents are included on the "New York Four
Hundred," elite social gatherings, archery (the sport for
upper-crust daughters), as well as Wharton's manuscript outlines,
letters, and related writings. "Criticism" collects eleven American
and British contemporary reviews and nine major essays on The Age
of Innocence, including a groundbreaking piece on the two film
adaptations of the novel. "A Chronology and Selected Bibliography"
are also included.
