An immensely popular bestseller upon its publication in 1905, The House of Mirth was Edith Wharton’s first great novel. Set among the elegant brownstones of New York City and opulent country houses like gracious Bellomont on the Hudson, the novel creates a satiric portrayal of what Wharton herself called “a society of irresponsible pleasure-seekers” with a precision comparable to that of Proust. And her brilliant and complex characterization of the doomed Lily Bart, whose stunning beauty and dependence on marriage for economic survival reduce her to a decorative object, becomes an incisive commentary on the nature and status of women in that society. From her tragic attraction to bachelor lawyer Lawrence Selden to her desperate relationship with social-climbing Rosedale, Lily is all too much a product of the world indicated by the title, a phrase taken from Ecclesiastes: “The heart of fools is in the house of mirth.” For it is Lily’s very specialness that threatens the elegance and fulfillment she seeks in life. Along with the author’s other masterpiece, The Age of Innocence , this novel claims a place among the finest American novels of manners.

評分花了两天时间看完的,也就是了解了一个皮毛而已。而且放弃了看英文版,而看了翻译本,觉得挺别扭。 估计少有人看女性作家的作品,更不要说时外国女作家了。全文也就是说了一个怨妇在一堆怨妇中挣扎的故事。要面子又没钱的那个怨妇活得很累,要面子又有钱的怨妇们活着跟死了一样...
評分In Chapter 13, when Lily met Nettie Struther, the woman she'd helped by her charity work, she was told that Nettie's baby girl was named "Marry Anto'nette" (Marie Antoinette) because she sees the resemblance between Miss Bart and the French queen's beauty. ...
評分心理描写很细致,很多处也都很有女权主义的雏形。只是当下社会已经给了女性更多的的选择,所以没有太多的代入感。如今女人不再是当客厅的太太一条路了,就算是上流社会的公主也是要去投行训练一下,有“正经工作”的。在此真挚地谢谢书中扮演背景的女工,是他们的存在和努力最...
