The Age of Innocence
This classic literary portrait of New York life in the 1870s earned Edith Wharton the first Pulitzer Prize awarded to a female author upon its original publication in 1921. The Age of Innocence is an indispensable addition to any modern library. The edition featured above is a facsimile print of the first edition. It boasts a simply illustrated dust jacket capturing the essence of the novel, presenting the tension between the artifice and reality Wharton explored in her vivid prose.
