Industrialization, mass immigration, the growing presence of women in the work force, and the rapid advance of the cities had transformed American society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBroad in scope, The Gilded Age brings together sixteen original essays that offer lively syntheses of modern scholarship while making their own interpretive arguments. These engaging pieces allow students to consider the various societal, cultural and political factors that make studying the Gilded Age crucial to our understanding of America today. Charles W. Calhoun connects all of these essays with a comprehensive introduction that places each article in an understandable historical context. For the second edition of this successful book, each essay was revised and three new pieces have been added that explore technology, consumerism, intellectual life, and race in late nineteenth century America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Arnesen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0742550370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780742550377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.36w x 1.33d","brand":"Eric Arnesen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437993275647,"sku":"9780742550377","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32d3ec9b-1747-4d86-a89b-9462f4342004.jpg?v=1777168069","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gilded-age-eric-arnesen-9780742550377","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
