Widely regarded as one of Edith Wharton's greatest achievements,
The Age of Innocence is not only subtly satirical, but also a
sometimes dark and disturbing comedy of manners in its exploration
of the 'eternal triangle' of love. Set against the backdrop of
upper-class New York society during the 1870s, the author's
combination of powerful prose combined with a thoroughly researched
and meticulous evocation of the manners and style of the period,
has delighted readers since the novel's first publication in 1920.
In 1921 The Age of Innocence achieved a double distinction - it won
the Pulitzer Prize and it was the first time this prestigious award
had been won by a woman author.
