She has received a major award from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and her 2008 biography of Emily Post received the J Anthony Lukas Award, administered by Harvard University's Neiman Foundation for Journalism and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Claridge began her writing career as a British Romantic and feminist scholar. With Elizabeth Langland, she edited Male Writers and Gender Criticism (1990). In 1992 she wrote The Paradox of Desire. A Life of Deco and Decadence was published in 1998, as well as the following year in the UK, Germany, Spain, and Poland. A Life, the first critical biography of the popular American artist, appeared in the fall of 2001. Mistress of American Manners, Daughter of the Gilded Age was published in the fall of 2008.
