The House of Mirth, The House of Mirth, a novel by Edith Wharton (1862¿1937), tells the story of Lily Bart, a well-born but impoverished woman belonging to New York City´s high society around the turn of the last century. Wharton creates a portrait of a stunning beauty who, though raised and educated to marry well both socially and economically, is reaching her 29th year, an age when her youthful blush is drawing to a close and her marital prospects are becoming ever more limited. The House of Mirth traces Lily´s slow two-year social descent from privilege to a tragically lonely existence on the margins of society. Wharton uses Lily as an attack on ´´an irresponsible, grasping and morally corrupt upper class.´´ Before publication as a book on October 14, 1905, The House of Mirth was serialized in Scribner´s Magazine beginning in January 1905. It attracted a readership among housewives and businessmen alike. Charles Scribner wrote Edith in November 1905 that the novel was showing ´´the most rapid sale of any book ever published by Scribner.´´ By the end of December sales had reached 140,000 copies. Edith´s royalties were valued at more than half a million dollars in today´s currency. The commercial and critical success of The House of Mirth solidified Wharton´s reputation as a major novelist. Because of the novel´s commercial success, some critics classified it as a genre novel. However, Edith´s pastor, then rector of Trinity Church in Manhattan, wrote to tell her that her novel was ´´a terrible but just arraignment of the social misconduct which begins in folly and ends in moral and spiritual death.´´ This moral purpose was not lost on the literary reviewers and critics of the time who tended to categorize it as both social satire and a novel of manners. Carol Singley in her Introduction to Edith Wharton´s The House of Mirth: A Case Book states, ´´[The House of Mirth] is a unique blend of romance, realism, and naturalism,[and thus] transcends the narrow classification of a novel of manners. ePUB, 15.05.2017.

Single woman of 29, Lily Bart is Edith Wharton's quintessential trapped heroine. Orphaned following the death of her parents, Lily understands that she must use her beauty, grace and charm to attain the social position she longs for, but she is caught between her desire for wealth and a strong moral conscience, which sabotages every opportunity she encounters. Lily's employment as a maid finds her visiting the houses of New York's upper echelons, where she is invited to live lavishly and party with her patrons until the early hours. She meets many eligible bachelors and rich men; however, she is captivated by Laurence Seldon, a struggling attorney who sees through the glossy superficiality of upper society. She cannot bring herself to marry a man of working class, nor a millionaire whom she does not love. Thus begins her downward spiral into penury.
