The Age of Innocence. Edith Wharton. New York: D. Appleton & Company, 1920. First edition dust jacket. First novel written by a woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.Centers on an upper-class couple’s impending marriage, and the introduction of the bride’s cousin, plagued by scandal, whose presence threatens their happiness. Though the novel questions the assumptions and morals of 1870’s New York society, it never develops into an outright condemnation of the institution. -- source link
