The Economic Novel in America (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781469613376)

Much has been written about America's Gilded Age"0-8078--that turbulent period from 1870 to 1900 when the great fortunes were built and monopolies founded. Taylor reexamines the period through the work of its novelists--Mark Twain, Edward Bellamy, Frank Norris, and a host of lesser figures. Delightfully nonacademic, this book sharply questions many of our present ideas about the time."

Originally published in 1942.
