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.\" (309-310)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45549105709207,"sku":"9781545479315","price":947.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781545479315.webp?v=1767129651","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/house-of-mirth-9781545479315","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
