A new edition of Edith Wharton's 1905 classic novel, The House of Mirth. The story centers on Lily Bart, a well-born but impoverished high-society woman and her steady social decline in turn-of-the-century New York. By painting a portrait of a stunning beauty slowly becoming undone as she fails to meet society's expectations and is relegated to a tragically lonely exitence on the margins of society, The House of Mirth serves as Wharton's most stinging attack was she saw as the "irresponsible, grasping and morally corrupt upper class" she knew so well. Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was an American novelist and short story writer. An insider to New York’s upper class aristocracy, Wharton drew upon her first-hand experience to become to foremost chronicler and most insightful critics of the lives and morals of America’s Gilded Age. In 1921, she became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for her novel, The Age of Innocence. A prolific author of full-length novels, as well as novellas and short-stories, among her other well-known works include Ethan Frome, The House of Mirth, The Custom of the Country, and the Old New York series of novellas.
