Though there was already talk of the erection, in remote metropolitan distances ""above the Forties,"" of a new Opera House which should compete in costliness and splendour with those of the great European capitals, the world of fashion was still content to reassemble every winter in the shabby red and gold boxes of the sociable old Academy. Conservatives cherished it for being small and inconvenient, and thus keeping out the ""new people"" whom New York was beginning to dread and yet be drawn to; and the sentimental clung to it for its historic associations, and the musical for its excellent acoustics, always so problematic a quality in halls built for the hearing of music

Edith Wharton's Pullitzer prize-winning novel The Age of Innocence (1920) is a portrayal of New York's upper class society during the 1870s. Newland Archer is a wealthy socialite who's poised to marry May Welland, a perfectly pure and faultlessly suitable mate. When Archer meets May's scandalous cousin, Countess Olenska, whose unconventional views and shady past make her unique, his good intentions waver. The Countess by comparison casts May as a dull and manufactured product of New York's stifled upper-class. What results is a subtle and well-wrought drama that has been read and loved for nearly a century. Wharton, whose other works are more harshly critical of society, wrote The Age of Innocence with far more humor and empathy, such that it's become an enduring classic. The book is also widely revered for the accuracy with which it portrays 19th-century American East Coast upper class: for all of these literary feats she won the Pulitzer Prize a year after its publication - the ...
