The Age of Innocence

Bag om The Age of Innocence

The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton The Age of Innocence was a softer and more gentle work than The House of Mirth, set in the time of her childhood. Wharton wrote, "I found a momentary escape in going back to my childish memories of a long-vanished America... it was growing more and more evident that the world I had grown up in and been formed by had been destroyed in 1914."

As explained by Millicent Bell in the Cambridge companion to Wharton,
