The Introducers is a novel written by Edith Wharton. The story is set in the Gilded Age of New York City, where social status and wealth are highly valued. The main character, Fanny Frisbee, is a social climber who is determined to improve her position in society. She seeks the help of a group of introducers - people who have the power to introduce her to the right people and events. Fanny becomes involved in the lives of the introducers, who are all struggling with their own personal and social issues. The novel explores the themes of social mobility, love, and the consequences of ambition. Throughout the book, Wharton portrays the characters with a sharp wit and a keen eye for the nuances of social interactions. The Introducers is a commentary on the social mores of the time and a reflection on the human desire for status and acceptance. Overall, The Introducers is a fascinating glimpse into the world of high society in the late 19th century, and a timeless exploration of the human condition.Oh, yes, you can. That's my reason for asking you. You see, I really can't help Magraw much. It takes a woman to give a man a start. Aline will say, 'Oh, bring him, if you choose' -- but when he comes she won't take any notice of him, or introduce him to any of the nice women. He was too shy to go to the Summertons' last night -- he's really very shy under his loudness -- so Aline's dance will be his first appearance in Newport.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
