About This Item
Hartford, CT: American Publishing Company , 1882. Title page states "Sold By Subscription Only". 576pp/illus. The Gilded Age was Twains first novel and was co-authored by his neighbour and fellow author, Charles Dudley Warner. It tells the epic story of Colonel Sellers and the Hawkings family in their relentless and convoluted pursuit of wealth, and their very American concept of wealth as a worthy end in itself. Wealth eluded them, often with tragic results, and the title of the novel became the name of the era it describes. Early printing. First published in 1873, this is a very attractive example of the books original design and format. Gift inscription inside front cover. Clean. Cloth. Very Good+/No Jacket Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
