{"product_id":"the-age-of-innocence-9788196091002","title":"The Age of Innocence","description":"The Age of Innocence, which was set in the time of Wharton's childhood, was a softer and gentler work than The House of Mirth, which Wharton had published in 1905. In her autobiography, Wharton wrote of The Age of Innocence that it had allowed her to find \"a momentary escape in going back to my childish memories of a long-vanished America... it was growing more and more evident that the world I had grown up in and been formed by had been destroyed in 1914.\" Scholars and readers alike agree that The Age of Innocence is fundamentally a story which struggles to reconcile the old with the new. The title is an ironic comment on the polished outward manners of New York society when compared to its inward machinations. It is believed to have been drawn from the popular painting A Little Girl by Sir Joshua Reynolds that later became known as The Age of Innocence and was widely reproduced as the commercial face of childhood in the later half of the 18th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10348025\"\u003eEdith Wharton\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Avarang Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.79d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788196091002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8196091001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-YAF\"\u003eYoung Adult Fiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-YAF009000\"\u003eClassics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Avarang Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44704317767917,"sku":"9788196091002","price":35.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_65a30013-a316-4887-b70e-25fea2c91add.jpg?v=1703912652","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-age-of-innocence-9788196091002","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
