About The Age of Innocence
The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton's eighth novel, was first published in 1920 across four installments. It was an immediate success, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction the next year. The novel follows Newland Archer, a young lawyer torn between his engagement to the conventional May Welland and his passion for her unconventional cousin, Ellen Olenska.
Wharton skillfully portrays the hypocrisy and rigidity of upper-class New York City society, where appearances and social status often stifle authentic emotions and individual freedom. Through this classic love triangle, the author examines the complexities of human relationships and the consequences of societal repression.
"[Wharton] takes great attention with the details that make the world of her novel vibrant and indelible, and I hope you lose yourself in her words as much as I do," says author Roxane Gay. Read The Age of Innocence and find yourself reflecting on the timeless pursuit of personal fulfillment amidst moral and social obligations.
