Description: The winner of the 1921 Pulitzer Prize, "The Age of Innocence" is at once an elegant portrait of New York's elite in the 1870s and a devastatingly ironic commentary on their attitudes and customs.

Brief description: Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was an American novelist--the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Age of Innocence in 1921--as well as a short story writer, playwright, designer, reporter, and poet. Her other works include Ethan Frome, The House of Mirth, and Roman Fever and Other Stories. Born into one of New York's elite families, she drew upon her knowledge of upper-class aristocracy to realistically portray the lives and morals of the Gilded Age.
