Edith Wharton Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1897 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 book is significant for The House of Mirth because it stresses how important architecture was in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this generation, house decoration became a branch of architecture. This is when the architecture of the room became its decoration, just like the houses in the House of Mirth. Wharton advocated the creation of houses with emphasized decorations on the ceilings and walls along with well-suited furniture. They also emphasize classical yet simple principles such as proportion and symmetry. Contributor The name of the person who obtained, uploaded, and described the item.
