   Is the age of Innocence a good book?

   • It is this struggle that is the driving force in the novel. The Age of Innocence is a brilliant portrait of upperclass New York City in the 1870s. I went in with very high expectations for this novel - this is the second book by Edith Wharton that I've read, Ethan Frome being the first - and she did not disappoint.

   When did Wharton write the age of innocence?

   • From now on, Wharton said, “the historical novel will be the only possible form for fiction.” She wrote most of “The Age of Innocence” in 1919, the year after the Armistice, but the action is set in the 1870s, with only the last chapter jumping forward to the 1900s.

   Is every age an age of innocence?

   • It isn’t particular to the 1870s, or the 1920s. In a way, every age is an age of innocence, because every age has its own unsaid, half-known truths, which are articulated more clearly over time. Even after the particular circumstances described in a novel have vanished, we can still recognize ourselves and our lives in them.

The book has all of the makings of something I would love: a historical love story set in New York City in the Gilded Age, peppered with feminist ideas.

   Feb 26, 2014 · I think he figured that it’s a love story, written by a woman, so it must be chick-lit. But The Age of Innocence has as much in common with that popular Oprah-ish romance-rooted literary fashion as Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet does. Like Shakespeare’s play, Wharton’s 1923 novel is about two lovers, but that’s only on the surface.
