The Rise of Silas Lapham is a novel written by William Dean Howells and published in 1885. The story is set in Boston during the late 19th century and follows the rise of Silas Lapham, a self-made businessman who has made his fortune in the paint industry. Lapham is ambitious and driven, but his success is threatened when he decides to enter the world of high society and social climbing. He becomes involved with the aristocratic Corey family, hoping to marry his daughter Irene to their son Tom and secure his place in the upper echelons of society. However, his lack of refinement and cultural knowledge puts him at odds with the Coreys and threatens to ruin his reputation.
