Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton, a celebrated American novelist, captured the lives of late nineteenth-century society during a period of historical decline. "The House of Mirth" centers on Lily Bart, a woman of high society in New York City. Though raised with expensive tastes, Lily finds herself approaching thirty with diminishing youthful appeal and limited financial resources. Her primary objective becomes securing a husband who can maintain her accustomed luxurious lifestyle.
