About Age of Innocence

The Age of Innocence, written by Edith Wharton, is a novel that focuses on an upper-class couple's impending marriage and the introduction of a controversial cousin in 1870s New York. It explores the social intricacies and rituals of the high society of the time, and it provides a critical view of the social strictures that dictate behavior, particularly regarding marriage and loyalty.
