 | The Age of Innocence by Cynthia G. Wolff, Edith Wharton, Flo Gibson, Janet B. Goodwyn, Laura Dluzynski
This is Edith Wharton's insider's look, and subtle critique, of New York society at a time when an address above 12th Street was considered the wild frontier. THE AGE OF INNOCENCE plays out the delicacies of a love triangle between May Welland, born and bred to marry Newland Archer, a thoughtful barrister, who in turn loves the infamous, unconventional, and attractive, Countess Ellen Olenska. The brazen Countess has left her Count behind in Europe and has returned to New York for a reprieve from a bad marriage. Not only does Wharton paint a deliciously detailed portrait of old New York and the rules that governed upper-class society, she has also provided readers with an entertainment of high order. With this novel, Edith Wharton became the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize in 1921. AUTHOR: Cynthia G. Wolff, Edith Wharton, Flo Gibson, Janet B. Goodwyn, Laura Dluzynski

 | Persuasion by Ann Mavrolean, Claude Rawson, Gillian Beer, Jane Austen, John Davie
Jane Austen's last and most melancholy novel was posthumously published in 1818. In PERSUASION, Austen presents men and women as moral equals, inverting the conventional roles of hero and heroine, and creates a strong, mature, and independent heroine, Anne Elliot, who spurns the binding reins of paternal authority. She heeded the advice of a friend by breaking off an engagement eight years earlier to Frederick Wentworth, a naval officer who had not yet risen in his profession and was deemed unworthy of her. Anne has always remained in love with him, and has regretted her susceptibility to persuasion; now that Wentworth has become wealthy, the two are able to marry, but only after a series of painful misunderstandings.
