Welcome to the era of true marriages of convenience. Discover the reality of trading someone’s hand in marriage, such as an American heiress, in exchange for money, power, or political clout through compelling history lectures. Showcased in novels such as Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence and in present day pop culture through works like Downtown Abbey, the Gilded Age was an era of contradictions.

Story0
The Gilded Age A Tale of Today, co-authored by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner in 1873, offers a sharp satire of the greed and political corruption that permeated post-Civil War America. The term Gilded Age, which has become synonymous with this era, derives from the title of this novel, inspired by Shakespeares King John (1595) To gild refined gold, to paint the lily... is wasteful and ridiculous excess.

Originally published in 1873, The Gilded Age A Tale of Today stands as Mark Twains only co-authored novel, crafted alongside his close friend C.D. Warner. This collaboration ignited from a playful challenge posed by their wives. The title The Gilded Age has since become a powerful symbol of graft, materialism, and corruption in public life, themes that resonate profoundly in todays society. Twains keen observations and character-driven narratives draw from real-life events and relatives, a connection he later revealed in his 2011 Autobiography. Join us as we explore this timeless reflection of...

As 1872 opened, the New York Times headlined four stories that symptomized the decay in public morals that the editors so frequently decried: financier Jim Fisk was gunned down in a love triangle; suffragist and free-love advocate Victoria Woodhull was running for president; antivice activist Anthony Comstock battled smut dealers poisoning children’s minds; and abortionists were thriving.
