Edith Wharton's Classic Novel, 'The Age of Innocence' (Summer School)

For our second and final installment of our summer literature series, Summer School, in which we read a classic New York novel and invite you to read with us and participate on the radio, we spent the last 4 weeks reading Edith Wharton's 1920 novel, The Age of Innocence, winner of the Pulitzer Prize. The book is set in 1870s New York City, which follows Newland Archer and his romantic adventures with two women. Sarah Blackwood, associate professor of English at Pace University, is with us to talk about the importance of the novel, and take your calls.
