| The Buccaneers | comment |
The Buccaneers is Edith Wharton's last novel.During The Gilded Age, three ambitious new-money families find that their daughters — Virginia "Ginny" and Annabel "Nan" St. George, Elizabeth "Lizzy" and Mabel "Mab" Elmsworth, and Conchita "Connie" Closson — are considered unwelcome Nouveau Riche bachelorettes to the New York social scene. Nan's intelligent new governess, Laura Testvalley, gets the idea to send the girls to London so that they may participate in the Season and find themselves aristocratic English husbands. Nan lands the best match of the five and becomes Duchess Tintagel, but finds herself in an unhappy marriage and attracted to another man.Unfinished at the time of Wharton's death, it was posthumously published in 1938. In 1993, Marion Mainwaring published a 'finished' version of the novel following Wharton's outline. The book has been twice adapted to television, as a 1995 BBC miniseries and as a 2023 Apple TV+ series. | |

Nouveau Riche: The five heroines' families' money is too new for them to be accepted by American Old Money, so they're unleashed upon English nobility instead. | |
