The Age of Innocence
About this book
In a world of rules and reputation, love comes at the highest price.
The Age of Innocence (1920), by Edith Wharton, is a masterful novel of romance and restraint, set in the glittering yet rigid world of New York's Gilded Age.
At the heart of the story is Newland Archer, a promising young lawyer who is engaged to the beautiful and proper May Welland. But when May's cousin, the free-spirited and scandalous Countess Ellen Olenska, returns from Europe, Archer finds himself torn between passion and duty, love and loyalty.
Through its intimate portrait of love constrained by social expectations, Wharton exposes the hypocrisy, elegance, and quiet cruelty of high society. Her sharp wit and profound insight earned this novel the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making her the first woman ever to receive the award.
A timeless story of longing and sacrifice, The Age of Innocence remains one of the greatest works of American literature.
