Part of the Norton Library series

The Norton Library edition of The Age of Innocence features the complete text of the first (1921) edition. An introduction by Sheila Liming provides historical and sociocultural context to the novel’s Gilded Age setting, illuminating the deft ironies, gender politics, and enduring influence of Edith Wharton’s masterwork.

The Norton Library is a growing collection of high-quality texts and translations—influential works of literature and philosophy—introduced and edited by leading scholars. Norton Library editions prepare readers for their first encounter with the works that they’ll re-read over a lifetime.

  • Inviting introductions highlight the work’s significance and influence, providing the historical and literary context students need to dive in with confidence.
  • Endnotes and an easy-to-read design deliver an uninterrupted reading experience, encouraging students to read the text first and refer to endnotes for more information as needed.
  • An affordable price (most $10 or less) encourages students to buy the book and to come to class with the assigned edition.

About the Editor: Sheila Liming is Associate Professor at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont. She is the author of What a Library Means to a Woman: Edith Wharton and the Will to Collect Books (University of Minnesota Press, 2020) and creator of the web database EdithWhartonsLibrary.org.
