But Attached As She Is To The Social World Of Her Wealthy Suitors, Something In Her Rebels Against The Insipid Men Whom Circumstances Compel Her To Charm. "Why Must A Girl Pay So Dearly For Her Least Escape," Lily Muses As She Contemplates The Prospect Of Being Bored All Afternoon By Percy Grice, Dull But Undeniably Rich, "On The Bare Chance That He Might Ulti- Mately Do Her The Honor Of Boring Her For Life?" Lily Is Distracted From Her Prey By The Arrival Of Lawrence Selden, Handsome, Quick-Witted, And Penniless. A Runaway Bestseller On Publication In 1905, The House Of Mirth Is A Brilliant Romantic Novel Of Manners, The Book That Established Edith Wharton As One Of America's Greatest Novelists. " A Tragedy Of Our Modern Life, In Which The Relentlessness Of What Men Used To Call Fate And Esteem, In Their Ignorance, A Power Beyond Their Control, Is As Vividly Set Forth As Ever It Was By Aeschylus Or Shakespeare." --The New York Times
