  • ""A direct and caustic attack on government, politicians, and big business in post-Civil War America."
  • "A satire on the greed and political corruption in post-Civil War America in the era now referred to as the Gilded Age."@en
  • "Life in Tennessee in 1800s."@en
  • "The Gilded Age satirizes greed and political corruption in post-Civil War America. The theme of the novel is that the lust for getting rich through land speculation pervades society: this includes the poor Tennessee family, the Hawkinses, as well as the two young upper class men, Philip Steling and Henry Brierly, and feminist and aspiring doctor Ruth's educated, wealthy father (who cannot turn down his acquaintances' money-making schemes)."@en
  • "A poor Tennessee family to get rich by finding the right time to sell the 75,000 acres of unimproved land acquired by their patriarch, Silas "Si" Hawkins. Meanwhile in a parallel story two young upper-class men, Philip Sterling and Henry Brierly, seek their fortunes in land a different way."@en
  • "A humorous look at an ideal state of society."@en
  • ""This rollicking novel is rife with unscrupulous politicians, colorful plutocrats, and blindly optimistic speculators caught up in a frenzy of romance, murder, and surefire deals gone bust. First published in 1873 and filled with unforgettable characters such as the vainglorious Colonel Sellers and the ruthless Senator Dilsworthy, The Gilded Age is a hilarious and instructive lesson in American history."--Publisher description."
  • "This 1873 novel satirizes the hypocrisy and greed of Reconstruction-era America. The title became synonymous with the era to later historians. The novel has two parallel stories. One, written by Twain, concerns the efforts of a poor Tennessee family to become rich through land speculation; the other, written by Warner, tells of the money-lusting scheme of two young men."
  • "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 peace-time 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."

  • "The only book that Mark Twain ever wrote in collaboration with another author, The Gilded Age is a novel that viciously and hilariously satirizes the greed, materialism, and corruption that characterized much of upper-class America in the nineteenth century. The title term -- inspired by a line in Shakespeare's King John -- has become synonymous with the excess of the era."@en
