Book Description
" The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today" is typically published as a single volume, not divided into separate volumes. It's a collaborative novel written by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner, first published in 1873. The novel satirizes greed, political corruption, and the excesses of post-Civil War American society. It follows the lives of various characters, including the Hawkins family, as they navigate the social and political landscape of the Gilded Age. While Twain and Warner collaborated on the novel, it's often considered more of Warner's work, as he was primarily responsible for the writing, with Twain providing input and revisions. However, both authors' voices and perspectives are evident throughout the narrative. "The Gilded Age" remains an important and influential work in American literature, offering a critical examination of the social and economic realities of its time.

Layamon. soon discovered that there were three distinct aristocracies in Washington. One of these (nicknamed the Antiques), consisted of cultivated, high-bred old families who looked back with pride upon an ancestry that had been always great in the nation's councils and its wars from the birth of the republic downward. Into this select circle it was difficult to gain admission. No. 2 was the aristocracy of the middle ground -- of which, more anon. No. 3 lay beyond; of it we will say a word here. We will call it the Aristocracy of the Parvenus -- as, indeed, the general public did. Official position, no matter how obtained, entitled a man to a place in it, and carried his family with him, no matter whence they sprang. Great wealth gave a man a still higher and nobler place in it than did official position. If this wealth had been acquired by conspicuous ingenuity, with just a pleasant little spice of illegality about it, all the better. This aristocracy was " fast," and not averse to ostentation. The aristocracy of the Antiques ignored the aristocracy of the Parvenus; the Parvenus laughed at the Antiques (and secretly envied them). There were certain important " society" customs which one in Laura's position needed to understand. For instance, when a lady of any...
