Synopsis

A Season of Splendor takes you on a spectacular journey through this Gilded Age, the period from roughly the 1870s to 1914, when old-money bluebloods and patricians confronted the nouveau riche-railway barons, steel magnates, and Wall Street speculators--and forged an uneasy and dazzling new social order in New York City. Author Greg King places you in the heart of this glittering era, where you'll discover all that was beguiling and appalling about this altogether extraordinary epoch.
