The House of Mirth (1905)

The first pages of the manuscript and typescript

This novel, published in the fall of 1905, had been called *A Moment's Ornament* (a phrase from Wordsworth) for nearly four years, and then briefly *The Year of the Rose*, before Edith Wharton made her third and final choice of title. Despite the claim she made in her memoirs (*A Backward Glance*, 1934) that her fictional characters always came to her with their names firmly attached, one can notice -- in the manuscript page -- that Lawrence Selden was originally called Hensley and Miss (Lily) Bart was called Miss Hurst. Edith Wharton frequently revised the typescript, in ink, so extensively that a second or even a third typing was necessary.

From the estate of Mrs. Wharton, 1938

Miss Bart had in fact been treading a devious way, and
none of her critics could have been more alive to the fact than her-
self. But she was beginning to have a fatalistic sense of being
drawn from one wrong turning to another, without ever perceiving
the right road till it was too late to take it. Each incident led
to the next by a concatenation bitterly familiar to those who have
let slip for a moment the guidance of their course.

Lily, who considered herself above narrow prejudices, had not imagin-
ed that the fact of letting Gus Trenor make a little money for her
would ever disturb her self-complacency. And the fact in itself
still seemed harmless enough; only it was a fertile source of harmful
complications. As she exhausted the amusement of spending the
money these complications became more pressing, and Lily, whose mind
could be severely logical in tracing the causes of her ill-luck to
others, justified herself by the thought that she owed all her
troubles to the animosity of Bertha Dorset.
