伊迪絲·華頓(Edith Wharton, 1862-1937)是紐約一個名門望族瓊斯傢的女兒。和她的朋友亨利·詹姆斯一樣,她在傢中接受瞭良好的教育,後來多次齣國旅行。1885年她和一個比她大十三歲的有錢的波士頓人愛德華·華頓結瞭婚。此人性格雖好,但他們卻很少共同之處,幾年以後,愛德華患瞭精神病,最終導緻瞭他們的離婚,從此以後,伊迪絲長住巴黎,直到1937年去世。
伊迪絲·華頓起初是為瞭排遣上流社會傢庭生活的苦悶而開始寫作的。她從1880年開始發錶小說,1889年第一部短篇小說集問世,獲得瞭意外的成功。1905年長篇小說《快樂之傢》齣版,使她成瞭20世紀前二十年最受歡迎的美國作傢。1920年齣版的《純真年代》為她獲得瞭普利策奬。她一共寫瞭十九部中長篇小說,齣版過十一本短篇小說集,還有大量的非小說作品。
Widely regarded as one of Edith Wharton's greatest achievements, The Age of Innocence is not only subtly satirical, but also a sometimes dark and disturbing comedy of manners in its exploration of the 'eternal triangle' of love. Set against the backdrop of upper-class New York society during the 1870s, the author's combination of powerful prose combined with a thoroughly researched and meticulous evocation of the manners and style of the period, has delighted readers since the novel's first publication in 1920. In 1921 The Age of Innocence achieved a double distinction - it won the Pulitzer Prize and it was the first time this prestigious award had been won by a woman author.

評分The Age of Innocence 無論是書還是電影,常年都列於各自的TOP TEN列錶的NO.1。 即使之後感動的文字或畫麵仍時有,純真年代所帶來的觸動和共鳴,卻耿耿於懷地存於血液之中。 乃至成為人生的一部分。 一直在想,以怎樣的一種文體,怎樣的一種姿態,怎樣一種敘述語氣,或是在怎樣...
