She believed that the novelist's task required utmost honesty, sincerity The and seriousness of purpose. The present study confirms Edith Wharton's greatness as a serious novelist who has presented the peculiar and particular nature of social change in her novels.

She was not only interested in social change or the social reality of the period but was also deeply concerned with the change inside the individual and his family. When she started writing, she found that in her age as a clash between the old leisured classes and the neo-rich, between the old values and the new ones which were process of acquiring a distinct shape.
