Description
In The Mauve Decade, Thomas Beer presents the morals, politics, society, and literature of 1880s and 1890s America. Beer depicts the end of a magical decade, of a society at war with itself and full of contradictions: a perfect storm of revolution and scandal.
Literary greats were everywhere, and among the figures portrayed in these pages are Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Hanna, Joseph Conrad, Ambrose Bierce, Stephen Crane, Stanford White, J. Pierpont Morgan, Henry George, and Oscar Wilde.
Beer’s frank and frequently satirical approach to the decade is a breath of fresh air. Full of character, criticism, and life, The Mauve Decade is like a painting: vivid, detailed, and full of colour.
