About this title

Review

"The beauty of The Age of Innocence rests in the beauty of Wharton's language and the precision of her insights into human nature; the supporting reference materials provided here in appendices and notes illuminate the cultural and social history of Old New York, the city in which Newland Archer and the Countess Olenska discover their forbidden love. Michael Nowlin's edition is an excellent resource." - Shari Benstock, University of Miami

"From the wide-ranging and expert introduction to the appendices (one of which gives readers Wharton's plot outlines for the novel), Michael Nowlin's edition is eminently useful. The book provides us with representative reviews from the time of the initial publication, writings by Wharton and others about 'feminism, ' Wharton's letters, and excellent notes for both the text and supplemental materials. No one working on Wharton today places her so accurately as Nowlin." - Linda Wagner-Martin, The University of North Carolina at Chapel-Hill
