Literary essays

Published on 20 December 2002 by WW Norton & Co in the United States as part of 'the Norton Critical Editions' series.

'Contexts' constructs the historical foundation for this very historical novel. Many documents are included on the 'New York Four Hundred,' elite social gatherings, archery (the sport for upper-crust daughters), as well as Wharton’s manuscript outlines, letters, and related writings.

'Criticism' collects eleven American and British contemporary reviews and nine major essays on The Age of Innocence, including a groundbreaking piece on the two film adaptations of the novel.

“A Chronology and Selected Bibliography” are also included.
