Introduction by Ron Powers
Includes Newly Commissioned Endnotes
Arguably the first major American novel to satirize the political milieu of
Washington, D.C. and the wild speculation schemes that exploded across the
nation in the years that followed the Civil War, The Gilded Age gave this
remarkable era its name. Co-written by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner,
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.
