Initially serialized in the Pictorial Review in 1920, The Age of
Innocence is a stylistic and intimate portrayal of upper class life
in New York City during the Gilded Age. Lawyer and socialite
Newland Archer is about to enter a loveless marriage with a
well-to-do bride, when her cousin, the exotic Ellen Olenska, enters
the picture. Olenska is stuck in a bad marriage with a Polish
count, and Archer finds himself in the awkward position of
persuading her to save her family's reputation by staying with her
husband, even though Archer himself has fallen in love with
her.Combining a romantic tragedy with artful descriptions of
aristocratic life in New York City, Edith Wharton's twelfth novel
is now available as an elegantly designed clothbound edition with
an elastic closure and a new introduction.
