The Age of Innocence

Description

Among New York City’s high society of the 1870s, before the coming of electric lights, phones or engine vehicles, there was a little bunch of privileged families that administered New York’s public activity. To those at the peak of the social world one’s occupation or capacities were optional to heredity and family associations, and one’s notoriety and outward appearance was of first significance. At the focal point of the most elevated circles is Newland Archer, a legal advisor set to go into a socially protected marriage with the shielded and delightful May Welland – a choice Archer is compelled to re-consider after the presence of Countess Ellen Olenska, May’s outlandish and excellent cousin, as of late got back from a protracted remain in Europe.
