The novel that gave the era its nickname, as the 2022 television series created by Julian Fellowes

 

First published in 1873, The Gilded Age is both a biting satire and a revealing portrait of post-Civil War America-an age of corruption when crooked land speculators, ruthless bankers, and dishonest politicians voraciously took advantage of the nation’s peacetime optimism. With his characteristic wit and perception, Mark Twain and his collaborator, Charles Dudley Warner, attack the greed, lust, and naivete of their own time in a work which endures as a valuable social document and one of America’s most important satirical novels.

 

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910), known by his pen name Mark Twain, is considered one of the greatest writers in American literature. He acquired international fame for his travel narratives, especially The Innocents Abroad (1869), Roughing It (1872), and Life on the Mississippi (1883), and for his adventure stories of boyhood, especially The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885). Charles Dudley Warner (1829-1900) was an American essayist, novelist, and friend of Mark Twain.
