The House of Mirth

In 1921, Edith Wharton became the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize, earning the award for The Age of Innocence. But Wharton also wrote several other novels, as well as poems and short stories that made her not only famous but popular among her contemporaries. That included her good friend Henry James, and she counted among her acquaintances Teddy Roosevelt and Sinclair Lewis. The House of Mirth was Wharton's first truly popular work, and it was a scathing critique of the upper class and its customs and lifestyles in New York City during the late 19th century. Wharton accomplishes this critique by telling the story of a star-crossed heroine whose misunderstanding of the manners of the upper crust have tragic consequences.
