Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) This document is significant for The House of Mirth Because it shows a depiction of what a typical floor plan looks like during the time that the book takes place, which is the late 1800s. A typical apartment during that time would cost about $30 to $50 to rent with the men having an income of $1,500 to $2,500. There were tens of thousands of apartments already built in New York. These smaller living areas allowed for more and more people to live in New York. In The House of Mirth, Lawrence Selden lived in an apartment complex known as The Benedick. The book describes the building as made of new brick and limestone, marble porches, and pseudo-Georgian façade. Selden lives on the top floor with a balcony. The document helps us to get a glimpse of what Selden’s apartment at The Benedick looked like and the type of accommodations he might’ve had.

Poole Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1895-October Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) This article from Current Literature describes the decor and style of a bachelor apartment in New York City that over looks Long Island and New Jersey. The article goes into great detail about what the apartment looks like such as, “The parlor itself is a symphony in tender willow-green. The woodwork, painted a slightly deeper shad than appears in the furnishings, affords the color base.” The connection of this item to the House of Mirth resides in first chapter in the first book. On page 10 of the book, Loc. 204 for Kindle users, Lily goes with Selden to his apartment aka bachelor pad. Lily asks “‘ The Benedick?’ She looked gently puzzled. ‘Is that the name of the building?’ ‘Yes, that’s the name: I believe its an old word for bachelor, isn’t it? I happen to own the building — that’s the way I know,’” (Wharton). Though the Benedick apartment never existed in New York City it is still helpful to get an idea of what it would look like to walk into Selden’s apartments. The article provides the visual the reader needs to form a more vivid picture. Contributor The name of the person who obtained, uploaded, and described the item.

This article links to The House of Mirth because on the first page Selden finds Miss Lily Bart. I find this amazing while in this article it is saying that it is hard to find anyone in Grand Central Station because of how many people inhabit the station at once. This article makes it seem like it is nearly impossible to find someone that you are looking for in this station. Selden on the other hand was not even purposefully looking for Miss Lily Bart, but he spotted her and fell in love. Contributor The name of the person who obtained, uploaded, and described the item.

Most Melancholy Occurrence [a look at death in boarding houses] Creator Enter the name of the author or other creator of the document or image exactly as (s)he is identified in the document. If no author is specified there, see fields guide. Daily National Intelligencer Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1824-08-16 *The date of the article is many years before the time period depicted in the novel. However, the contents of the article provide such an interesting insight into death in boarding houses that the difference can be overlooked. Furthermore, the content of the article does not go into detail about topics that would not be relatable to individuals living in boarding houses in the time period of the novel. Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) In the novel, The House of Mirth, Lily Bart is forced to live in a boarding house because she has no money left. Lily is extremely depressed about living in the boarding house, “The day’s task done, she dreaded to return to her narrow room, with its blotched wallpaper and shabby paint; and she hated every step of the walk thither, through the degradation of a New York street in the last stages of decline from fashion to commerce” (Wharton 233). The boarding house and Lily have become very similar. Both have declined from wealth to poverty. The article, “Most Melancholy Occurrence,” also highlights this degradation from fashion. In the article, two wealthy brothers have succumbed to debt, as Lily has also. This shows that Lily’s situation is realistic. At this time many people declined from wealth and were forced to live in a boarding house. Furthermore, the two men in the article fell from fashion because of amounting debts. This situation is similar to Lily’s because she too is in debt. The brothers’ situation in the boarding house helps the reader to understand that boarding houses were a place for people in economic trouble. This would make the boarding house appear to be a sad and deteriorating place. In addition, the two men in the article later commit suicide because of their insurmountable debt and depression from living in the boarding house. This sheds light onto Lily’s death, “Perspective had disappeared- the next day pressed close upon her, and on its heels came the days that were to follow- they swarmed about her like a shrieking mob” (Wharton 262). This quote shows that Lily was feeling trapped and thought the only way to escape was by drinking a dangerous dose of sleeping medication. This further supports the idea that Lily committed suicide and did not accidentally kill herself. This view is supported by the suicide of the two brothers. Suicide was not an unknown occurrence in boarding houses. Therefore, Lily could have committed suicide like the brothers did because of debt and depression. The boarding house was not a welcoming place for individuals in debt. *The date of the article is many years before the time period depicted in the novel.

This is because the article comments on concerns about cost of living, which is also found in the novel. In addition, the idea presented by the article that more individuals might choose to live in boarding houses supports the large movement of characters from previous dwellings to boarding houses in the novel. The article is interesting because it is a look at the beginning of the movement of women living independently in boarding houses. Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) The boarding houses where Gerty Farish and Nettie Crane live are viewed as quaint and welcoming. Gerty Farish lives in a boarding house that is more expensive that Nettie Crane’s, however the article, “Something New,” is relatable to both homes. The article describes a group of families that agree to rent a boarding house together because the cost would be cheaper than for all of them to live in different houses. In addition, the article comments on the fact that living in a boarding house gives the tenant access to servants, fuel, and other amenities at a lower cost. Gerty Farish’s boarding house is directly represented in the article, “Gerty’s little sitting-room sparkled with welcome when Selden entered it. Its modest ‘effects,’ compact of enamel paint and ingenuity, spoke to him in the language just then sweetest to his ear” (Wharton 125). The welcoming feeling of the boarding house is also represented in Nettie Crane’s house. Both locations are warm and welcoming. In addition, the article goes on to state that more individuals may decide to live in boarding houses as time goes on. This idea is important because it supports the presence of many characters living in boarding houses in The House of Mirth. The article was written much earlier than the novel, however the ideas depicted in the article are directly relatable to the novel. This is because the article comments on concerns about cost of living, which is also found in the novel. In addition, the idea presented by the article that more individuals might choose to live in boarding houses supports the large movement of characters from previous dwellings to boarding houses in the novel. The article provides an interesting view of boarding houses as cost conscious, welcoming homes. Contributor The name of the person who obtained, uploaded, and described the item.

We see Selden in Monte Carlo in the beginning of book 2, and the same with Lily Bart. The cruise ship the Sabrina is also in port here at the beginning of book 2. The picture here depicts a casino in the appropriate time period, which was a major calling card of Monte Carlo, which was an activity Selden and Lily Bart surely were attracted to, as Monte Carlo was famous for being a large gambling area. Monte Carlo also being a “loose” place, and major vacation hub, could contribute to Lily Bart enjoying herself and the “beauty” that surrounded her in the begging of book 2, chapter 2. It also may have helped contribute to Bertha cheating on her husband, which led Bertha to start to lie and manipulate Lily Bart, eventually making her a scapegoat.
