The House of Mirth - Part 1 of 2 - FULL Audio Book - by Edith Wharton
SUBSCRIBE to https://www.youtube.com/user/GreenAudioBooks
-
The House of Mirth (1905) is a novel by Edith Wharton. First published in 1905, the novel is Wharton's first important work of fiction. It sold 140,000 copies between October and the end of December, and added to Wharton's existing fortune.
Although The House of Mirth is written in the style of a novel of manners, set against the backdrop of the 1890s New York aristocracy, it is considered American literary naturalism. Wharton places her tragic heroine, Lily Bart, in a society that she describes as a "hot-house of traditions and conventions.
-
THE HOUSE OF MIRTH PLOT
The House of Mirth tells the story of Lily Bart, a woman who is torn between her desire for luxurious living and a relationship based on mutual respect and love. She sabotages all her possible chances for a wealthy marriage, loses the esteem of her social circle, and dies young, poor, and alone.
Lily is initially of good social standing and rejects several offers of advantageous marriage. Lily's social standing erodes when her friend Judy Trenor's husband Gus gives Lily a large sum of money. Lily innocently accepts the money, believing that it is the return on investments he supposedly made for her. The rumors of this transaction, and of her mysterious visit to Gus in his city residence crack her social standing further.
To escape the rumors and gossip, she accepts an invitation from Bertha Dorset to join her and her husband, George, on a cruise of Europe aboard their yacht the Sabrina. Unfortunately, while aboard the yacht, Bertha accuses Lily of adultery with George in order to shift societal attention from Bertha's own infidelity with poet Ned Silverton. The ensuing scandal ruins Lily, leading her friends to abandon her and Aunt Peniston to disinherit her.
Lily descends the social strata, working as a personal secretary until Bertha sabotages her position by turning her employers against her. Lily then takes a job as social secretary for a disreputable woman, but resigns after an associate of hers, Lawrence Selden, comes to rescue her from complete infamy. She then works in a millinery, but produces poorly and is let go at the end of the season. Simon Rosedale, the Jewish suitor who had proposed marriage to her when she was higher on the social scale tries to rescue her, but she is unwilling to meet his terms: to use love letters she bought which prove the affair Bertha Dorset and Selden had years earlier. Lily refrains for sake of Selden's reputation, and secretly burns the letters when she visits Selden for one last time. Eventually Lily receives her $10,000 inheritance, which she uses to pay her debt to Trenor. Lily dies from an overdose, possibly accidental, of the sleeping draught to which she had become addicted. Hours later Selden comes to propose to her, but finds she has died. Only then is he able to be close to her in a way he never was able to when she was living and admit his true love for her.

Suzanne Vega was inspired to write this song as the result of the sudden death (2004) of a successful author named Olivia Goldsmith.
Goldsmith died of cardiac arrest while under sedation for cosmetic surgery. Within four minutes, she was in a coma from which she'd never awake. All for a face-lift.
Edith Wharton was a Pulitizer Prize-winning author in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The word "figurine" is used here with a more limited meaning referring specifically to objects in human form. Wharton wrote about the pressure society puts on women to be beautiful.
Vega interweaves these two authors' ideas and lives with a focus on the futility of vanity and the struggle for beauty.
This song is from her album "Beauty and Crimes" (2007)
Further explanations follow the song.
LYRICS:
"Edith Wharton's Figurines"
Edith wharton's lovely figurines
Still speak to me today
From their mantlepiece in time
Where they wrestle and they play
With passions and with prudences
Finances and fears
Her face and what its worth to her
In the passing of the years
See the portrait come to life
See the vanity behind
Cause in the struggle for survival
Love is never blind
Now, olivia lies under anesthesia
Her wit and wonder snuffed
In a routine operation
Her own beauty not enough,
Her passions and her prudences
Finances and fears
Her face, what it was worth to her
In the passing of the years
See the portrait come to life
See the vanity behind
Cause in the struggle for survival
Love is never blind
Edith Wharton's lovely figurines
Still speak to me today
From their mantlepiece in time
Where they wrestle and they play
We lie under anesthesia
Our wit and wonder snuffed
In our routine operations
Our own beauty not enough

Edith Wharton
Edith Wharton (/ˈiːdɪθ ˈhwɔːrtən/; born Edith Newbold Jones; January 24, 1862 – August 11, 1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, short story writer, and designer. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. Wharton combined her insider's view of America's privileged classes with a brilliant, natural wit to write humorous, incisive novels and short stories of social and psychological insight. She was well acquainted with many of her era's other literary and public figures, including Theodore Roosevelt.
Biography
Early life and marriage
Edith Wharton was born Edith Newbold Jones to George Frederic Jones and Lucretia Stevens Rhinelander at their brownstone at 14 West Twenty-third Street in New York City. She had two much older brothers, Frederic Rhinelander, who was sixteen, and Henry Edward, who was eleven. She was baptized April 20, 1862, Easter Sunday, at Grace Church. To her friends and family she was known as "Pussy Jones". The saying "keeping up with the Joneses" is said to refer to her father's family. She was also related to the Rensselaer family, the most prestigious of the old patroon families. She had a lifelong lovely friendship with her Rhinelander niece, landscape architect Beatrix Farrand of Reef Point in Bar Harbor, Maine.

Suzanne Vega - "Edith Wharton's Figurines" (from Beauty and Crimes)
Suzanne Vega was inspired to write this song as the result of the sudden death (2004) of a successful author named Olivia Goldsmith. Goldsmith died of cardiac arrest while under sedation for cosmetic surgery. Within four minutes, she was in a coma from which she'd never awake. All for a face-lift. Edith Wharton was a Pulitizer Prize-winning author in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The word "figurine" is used here with a more limited meaning referring specifically to objects in human form. Wharton wrote about the pressure society puts on women to be beautiful. Vega interweaves these two authors' ideas and lives with a focus on the futility of vanity and the struggle for beauty. This song is from her album "Beauty and Crimes" (2007) Further explanations follow the song. ...

Reading Women by Carrie Schneider – an eight minute excerpt of a 4-hour video installation (looped, with sound)
To create “Reading Women,” I asked seventy female friends – mostly artists, writers and musicians living in New York – to each sit while reading a book of her choice, written by a female author, in her own home or studio for the duration of two hours. There is something rare about the depth of concentration experienced while reading, and it’s this moment I'm after: when the sitter loses awareness of the camera and her pose. Whether she chose to read the hardcover first edition autographed copy of Angela Davis’ An Autobiography (1974) borrowed from her late grandmother, or chose to read (for the eighth time) the dog–eared, used paperback version of Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse (1927) – the sitter, her choice of book and its author, become linked. To underscore the importance of this ...

Although The House of Mirth is written in the style of a novel of manners, set against the backdrop of the 1890s New York aristocracy, it is considered American literary naturalism. Wharton places her tragic heroine, Lily Bart, in a society that she describes as a "hot-house of traditions and conventions.

THE HOUSE OF MIRTH PLOT
The House of Mirth tells the story of Lily Bart, a woman who is torn between her desire for luxurious living and a relationship based on mutual respect and love. She sabotages all her possible chances for a wealthy marriage, loses the esteem of her social circle, and dies young, poor, and alone.
Lily is initially of good social standing and rejects several offers of advantageous marriage. Lily's social standing erodes when her friend Judy Trenor's husband Gus gives Lily a large sum of money. Lily innocently accepts the money, believing that it is the return on investments he supposedly made for her. The rumors of this transaction, and of her mysterious visit to Gus in his city residence crack her social standing further.
To escape the rumors and gossip, she accepts an invitation from Bertha Dorset to join her and her husband, George, on a cruise of Europe aboard their yacht the Sabrina. Unfortunately, while aboard the yacht, Bertha accuses Lily of adultery with George in order to shift societal attention from Bertha's own infidelity with poet Ned Silverton. The ensuing scandal ruins Lily, leading her friends to abandon her and Aunt Peniston to disinherit her.
Lily descends the social strata, working as a personal secretary until Bertha sabotages her position by turning her employers against her. Lily then takes a job as social secretary for a disreputable woman, but resigns after an associate of hers, Lawrence Selden, comes to rescue her from complete infamy. She then works in a millinery, but produces poorly and is let go at the end of the season. Simon Rosedale, the Jewish suitor who had proposed marriage to her when she was higher on the social scale tries to rescue her, but she is unwilling to meet his terms: to use love letters she bought which prove the affair Bertha Dorset and Selden had years earlier. Lily refrains for sake of Selden's reputation, and secretly burns the letters when she visits Selden for one last time. Eventually Lily receives her $10,000 inheritance, which she uses to pay her debt to Trenor. Lily dies from an overdose, possibly accidental, of the sleeping draught to which she had become addicted. Hours later Selden comes to propose to her, but finds she has died. Only then is he able to be close to her in a way he never was able to when she was living and admit his true love for her.

Suzanne Vega was inspired to write this song as the result of the sudden death (2004) of a successful author named Olivia Goldsmith.
Goldsmith died of cardiac arrest while under sedation for cosmetic surgery. Within four minutes, she was in a coma from which she'd never awake. All for a face-lift.
Edith Wharton was a Pulitizer Prize-winning author in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The word "figurine" is used here with a more limited meaning referring specifically to objects in human form. Wharton wrote about the pressure society puts on women to be beautiful.
Vega interweaves these two authors' ideas and lives with a focus on the futility of vanity and the struggle for beauty.
This song is from her album "Beauty and Crimes" (2007)
Further explanations follow the song.
LYRICS:
"Edith Wharton's Figurines"
Edith wharton's lovely figurines
Still speak to me today
From their mantlepiece in time
Where they wrestle and they play
With passions and with prudences
Finances and fears
Her face and what its worth to her
In the passing of the years
See the portrait come to life
See the vanity behind
Cause in the struggle for survival
Love is never blind
Now, olivia lies under anesthesia
Her wit and wonder snuffed
In a routine operation
Her own beauty not enough,
Her passions and her prudences
Finances and fears
Her face, what it was worth to her
In the passing of the years
See the portrait come to life
See the vanity behind
Cause in the struggle for survival
Love is never blind
Edith Wharton's lovely figurines
Still speak to me today
From their mantlepiece in time
Where they wrestle and they play
We lie under anesthesia
Our wit and wonder snuffed
In our routine operations
Our own beauty not enough

To create “Reading Women,” I asked seventy female friends – mostly artists, writers and musicians living in New York – to each sit while reading a book of her choice, written by a female author, in her own home or studio for the duration of two hours. There is something rare about the depth of concentration experienced while reading, and it’s this moment I'm after: when the sitter loses awareness of the camera and her pose.
Whether she chose to read the hardcover first edition autographed copy of Angela Davis’ An Autobiography (1974) borrowed from her late grandmother, or chose to read (for the eighth time) the dog–eared, used paperback version of Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse (1927) – the sitter, her choice of book and its author, become linked. To underscore the importance of this connection, each photograph is titled after the sitter, the author, and the title and publication year of the book itself. Cumulatively, the archive reveals a constellation of influences and knowledge among my creative peers.
Excerpted: Abigail reading Angela Davis (An Autobiography, 1974); Molly reading Fanny Howe (The Winter Sun: Notes on a Vocation, 2009); Flávia reading Clarice Lispector (Clarice na Cabeceira, pub. 2009); Vicky reading Gloria Fuertes (Historia de Gloria: Amor, Humor and Desamor (Letras Hispanicas), 1983); Rebekah reading Sofia Gubaidulina (Concerto for Bassoon and Low Strings, 1975); Megha reading Edith Wharton (The House of Mirth, 1905)

Prof Hermione Lee, President of Wolfson College, Prof of English Literature
Biographies direct us to key individuals, but they also help shape the agenda of social issues addressed by society. Hermione Lee CBE FBA was the Goldsmiths’ Professor of English Literature at Oxford and Fellow of New College for ten years. She is now President of Wolfson College. She is acclaimed as a biographer, and in this interview she discusses Virginia Woolf and Edith Wharton. In doing so, she shows how her subjects connect with her perspectives on a range of social issues. Her work has been recognised in a Fellowship of the British Academy and Foreign Honorary Membership of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She also talks about the founding President of Wolfson, Sir Isaiah Berlin, and about the future of Wolfson College.

July 14, 2015, Provincetown MA…Edith Windsor and Roberta Kaplan will visit the Provincetown Public Library to promote Kaplan’s upcoming book Then Comes Marriage, available through W.W. Norton and Company on October 5, 2015. The program will be held in the Marc Jacobs Reading Room on Tuesday, July 28 at 6:00 pm.
Then Comes Marriage: United States V. Windsor and the Defeat of DOMA is renowned litigator Robbie Kaplan’s gripping story of the amazing case that ultimately brought down DOMA before the United States Supreme Court in one of this country’s most significant civil rights victories.
Together with her legal team and client, Kaplan formulated a strategy to bring down the law that effectively made gay people second-class citizens. Having lost the case for marriage equality before New York State’s highest court in 2006, Kaplan was determined not to lose again. She coined the maxim “It’s all about Edie, stupid” to constantly remind herself and her team what the case was really about, and that refrain aptly describes the book itself. Then Comes Marriage is no turgid summary of court filings or constitutional doctrine: as she did when presenting her case before the nine justices, Kaplan keeps the lives of real people like Edie Windsor front and center at all times.
About Edith Windsor:
No mention of Edie would be complete without talking about her 42 year engagement and finally, marriage to Dr. Thea Spyer. Their love affair is honored by the documentary Edie & Thea, A Very Long Engagement by Susan Muska and Greta Olfsdottir. Edie traveled extensively with the film in this country and in Europe, using the Q & A to advocate coming out, for marriage equality, and for the joy in commitment.
The case of United States v Windsor is arguably the most influential legal precedent in the struggle for LGBT marriage equality. In its landmark 2013 ruling in Windsor, the Supreme Court struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which by its terms had excluded gay couples from all the benefits and protections of marriage under federal law. Since Windsor, more than forty federal district court opinions and four circuit courts have held that the U.S. Constitution requires that gay people be allowed to marry. This remarkable degree of consensus is no coincidence – it is based the logic and language of Windsor itself.
About Roberta Kaplan:
Roberta Kaplan is a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. She recently successfully litigated the case against Mississippi’s gay marriage ban. She lives in New York with her wife and son.

A critical examination of the Pulitzer prize winning work of Edith Wharton: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-novel-psychology-edith-whartons-the-age-of-innocence
Written between the two World Wars, Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence is in part about a peculiarly modern phenomenon - the experience of outliving the age that formed us. As life expectancy continues to rise, how do we live feeling somewhat out of kilter? What does the novel tell us about the psychology of ageing?

Prof Hermione Lee, President of Wolfson College, Prof of English Literature
Biographies direct us to key individuals, but they also help shape the agenda of social issues addressed by society. Hermione Lee CBE FBA was the Goldsmiths’ Professor of English Literature at Oxford and Fellow of New College for ten years. She is now President of Wolfson College. She is acclaimed as a biographer, and in this interview she discusses Virginia Woolf and Edith Wharton. In doing so, she shows how her subjects connect with her perspectives on a range of social issues. Her work has been recognised in a Fellowship of the British Academy and Foreign Honorary Membership of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She also talks about the founding President of Wolfson, Sir Isaiah Berlin, and about the future of Wolfson College.
