The House of Mirth is the fourth book by Edith Wharton, published in 1905. It sold 140,000 copies between October and the end of December, adding to Wharton's existing fortune. The House of Mirth was written while Edith Wharton lived at The Mount, her home in Lenox, Massachusetts.Although The House of Mirth is composed in the style of a novel of manners, set against the backdrop of 1890s New York upper-class society, it is considered American literary naturalism. Wharton places her tragic heroine, Lily Bart, in a society that she describes as a "hot-house of traditions and conventions".This edition has been formatted for your Kindle, with an active table of contents. It has also been annotated, with additional information about the novel as wel as Edith Wharton, including an overview, title, story, reception, adaptations, biographical and bibliographical information.
