The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton

Complementing the complete text of Wharton's landmark novel, this extensive volume also includes a wealth of contextual material. "Background Readings" explores the culture of 1870s New York, as depicted in the novel, as well as views on marriage and divorce at that time. In "Other Writings by Edith Wharton," the author discusses fiction writing, old New York, women, and her winning of the Pulitzer Prize. The "Critical Readings" section features essays on the novel from a wide variety of perspectives.

At Trinity College, Paul Lauter is the Smith Professor of Literature. He is a prominent role in the revision of the American literary canon and has served as president of the American Studies Association.
