Edith Wharton: The Age of Innocence Map

The streets are easier to navigate than the social rules.

In Edith Wharton’s New York, an address can say rather a lot before anyone opens the door. This illustrated map takes you into the world of The Age of Innocence, where the established families around Washington Square hold fast to tradition as the city changes around them.

Unfold it beside the novel to explore its 1870s New York, then follow the story’s other locations across the United States and Europe. A companion for readers who like to place the drawing rooms, journeys and social manoeuvring on a map. At least geography offers some clear boundaries.
