Book Description

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 1.0 (A), Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Department for Applied Language and Culture Science), language: English, abstract: Introduction “The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.” It was this quote from Ecclesiastes 7:4 that gave name to Edith Wharton′s novel “The House of Mirth.” Taking for granted that the author did not choose the title of her work deliberately, it surely might be interesting to have a closer look at why the author chose to name her work the way she did. Therefore, the world view and philosophy depicted in Ecclesiastes shall be inspected. Furthermore, it shall be analyzed whether and how the characters and the plot of the novel are affected by the ideas expressed in Ecclesiastes.

Charles Bridges (1794 - 1869, was an Evangelical Anglican preacher, theologian, and writer in the Church of England, still well known today for his work on The Christian Ministry and his expositions of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. Of this volume on Ecclesiastes, Bridges observes, "With all its difficulties, we must admit the book to be fraught with practical interest. It teaches lessons peculiarly its own— lessons, which we are too slow to learn; and yet, which we must thoroughly learn for our own personal profit and happiness. They are essential, as preparatory to our enjoyment of the Gospel."

These articles touch on subjects such as soteriology, grace, worship, righteous living, and character studies of people such as Saul and David. The overall intent of the book is to inform and inspire believers to live righteously before God.
