The Age of Innocence

The Age of Innocence

Edith Wharton

In CliffsNotes on The Age of Innocence, Newland Archer and young socialite May Welland prepare for a perfect marriage — according to social standards among the New York elite. A liberated Countess Olenska puts the union on shaky ground when the divorcee attracts Newland's attention. Divided between the comfort of a conventional life or a passionate pursuit, Newland must determine what duty and honor mean to him. Edith Wharton's love triangle earned a Pulitzer Prize in 1921.
