Wharton’s acclaimed portrayals of life, love, and marriage among New York’s wealthy society in the early years of this century depict with subtle irony the cruelties of social conventions and the contradictions between monetary values and moral values. These three novels are the best representations of Wharton’s intuitive insight.
