Widely regarded as one of Edith Wharton's greatest achievements, The Age of Innocence is a subtly satirical, dark, and disturbing comedy of manners exploring the 'eternal triangle' of love. Set in upper-class New York society during the 1870s, the novel features powerful prose and a meticulous evocation of the period's manners and style. Since its first publication in 1920, it has delighted readers, and in 1921 it won the Pulitzer Prize, the first awarded to a woman.
