Since its publication in 1905 The House of Mirth has commanded
attention for the sharpness of Wharton's observations and the power
of her style. Its heroine, Lily Bart, is beautiful, poor, and
unmarried at 29. In her search for a husband with money and
position she betrays her own heart and sows the seeds of the
tragedy that finally overwhelms her. The House of Mirth is a lucid,
disturbing analysis of the stifling limitations imposed upon women
of Wharton's generation. Herself born into Old New York Society,
Wharton watched as an entirely new set of people living by new
codes of conduct entered the metropolitan scene. In telling the
story of Lily Bart, who must marry to survive, Wharton recasts the
age-old themes of family, marriage, and money in ways that
transform the traditional novel of manners into an arresting modern
document of cultural anthropology. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
