Book of the month: «The House of Mirth» by Edith Wharton
COLLOQUIUM: Tuesday, December 16th, 19:30 p.m.
Published in 1905, it’s a novel that condemns the elitist world of women like Bertha Dorset; it does so by promoting the age-old ideal that you can’t buy happiness. Wharton wanted to write a «novel of manners” with a particularly American spin. She wanted to portray American aristocracy in a time when that aristocracy was doing so well.
