Pastoral Cosmopolitanism in Edith Wharton’s Fiction
The World is a WelterOne of the goals of this book is to demonstrate that while the pastoral seems to portray troubling fractures between the social self and native soil, Wharton is more struck by how these ostensibly divergent cultural categories superimpose and interpenetrate to form an ecocritical palimpsest.

Edith Wharton's Social Register
Fictions and ContextsIn linked thematic sections, Claire Preston considers ideas of tribal inclusion and banishment, buccaneer figures whose money-energy overcomes tribal demarcations, and expatriatism, the self-imposed mode of exile which fed Wharton's apparently chilly empiricism and was the origin of some of her most important work.

In the glittering world of New York's Gilded Age, wealth and propriety dictate every choice-but the heart does not always obey. Newland Archer, confidently engaged to the elegant and respectable May Welland, believes he understands his place in society. Everything changes when he meets her cousin, Countess Ellen Olenska, a woman whose independence and scandalous reputation challenge the rigid expectations of their world. Drawn to Ellen's honesty and longing for freedom, Newland begins to question the life set before him. As desire clashes with duty, he must choose between the safe respectability he has always known and the love that could cost him everything. Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence offers a brilliant critique of the social constraints of Gilded Age New York. Her piercing examination of appearances, conformity, and forbidden emotion earned her the Pulitzer Prize-the first awarded to a woman. Today, the novel endures as a powerful exploration of love, sacrifice, and the price of restraint.
