Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth (1905) is a sharp and satirical,
but also sensitive and tragic analysis of a young, single woman
trying to find her place in a materialistic and unforgiving
society. The House of Mirth offers a fascinating insight into the
culture of the time and, as suggested by the success of recent film
adaptations, it is also an enduring tale of love, ambition and
social pressures still relevant today. Part of the Routledge Guides
to Literature series, this volume is essential reading for all
those beginning detailed study of The House of Mirth and seeking
not only a guide to the novel, but a way through the wealth of
contextual and critical material that surrounds Wharton's text.
