A Note on the Text

________________________________________________
_ The Age of Innocence first appeared in four large
installments in The Pictorial Review, from July to
October 1920. It was published that same year in book
form by D. Appleton and Company in New York and in
London. Wharton made extensive stylistic, punctuation,
and spelling changes and revisions between the serial
and book publication, and more than thirty subsequent
changes were made after the second impression of the
book edition had been run off. This authoritative text
is reprinted from the Library of America edition of
Novels by Edith Wharton, and is based on the sixth
impression of the first edition, which incorporates the
last set of extensive revisions that are obviously authorial. _
