Edith Wharton (1862 - 1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist and short story writer. The Age of Innocence (1920) won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for literature, making Wharton the first woman to win the award. Many of Wharton's novels are characterized by a subtle use of dramatic irony. Having grown up in upper-class pre-World War I society, Wharton became one of its most astute critics, in such works as The House of Mirth and The Age of Innocence.

Invitée par Lyautey, résident général de la République française, Edith Wharton découvrit le Maroc en 1917, à une époque où les voyageurs occidentaux étaient rares. Les recommandations dont elle bénéficia lui ouvrirent de nombreuses portes et lui permirent d'être le témoin des derniers instants d'une civilisation millénaire, avant que le Maroc ne s'ouvre au monde. Son témoignage est d'autant plus précieux qu'elle allie un don d'observation à une grande connaissance de l'histoire marocaine. Ses premières impressions de voyage furent publiées dans des journaux américains avant d'être réunies en volume en 1920.
