 | The House of Mirth by Anita Brookner, Cynthia G. Wolff, Edith Wharton, Flo Gibson, Shari Benstock
A literary sensation when it was published by Scribners in 1905, The House of Mirth quickly established Edith Wharton as the most important American woman of letters in the twentieth century. The first American novel to provide a devastatingly accurate portrait of New York's aristocracy, it is the story of the beautiful and beguiling Lily Bart and her ill-fated attempt to rise to the heights of a heartless society in which, ultimately, she has no part.

 | Persuasion by Ann Mavrolean, Claude Rawson, Gillian Beer, Jane Austen, John Davie
Jane Austen's last and most melancholy novel was posthumously published in 1818. In PERSUASION, Austen presents men and women as moral equals, inverting the conventional roles of hero and heroine, and creates a strong, mature, and independent heroine, Anne Elliot, who spurns the binding reins of paternal authority. She heeded the advice of a friend by breaking off an engagement eight years earlier to Frederick Wentworth, a naval officer who had not yet risen in his profession and was deemed unworthy of her. Anne has always remained in love with him, and has regretted her susceptibility to persuasion; now that Wentworth has become wealthy, the two are able to marry, but only after a series of painful misunderstandings. AUTHOR: Ann Mavrolean, Claude Rawson, Gillian Beer, Jane Austen, John Davie

 | Portable Faulkner
In prose of biblical grandeur and feverish intensity, William Faulkner reconstructed the history of the American South as a tragic legend of courage and cruelty, gallantry and greed, futile nobility, and obscene crimes. He set this legend in a small, minutely realized parallel universe he called Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi.
