In a book charged with vitality and lacking no detail that it was possible to gather from books, un published letter or journals, and word-of-mouth tadition, Thomas Beer presents the morals, politics, society, and literature of the 1880’s and ’90s in America – and dramatizes them all. Among the figures portrayed in these brilliant pages are Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Hanna, Eleonora Duse, Joseph Conrad, Ambrose Bierce, Stephen Crane, Standford White, Anna Held, J. Pierpont Morgan, Henry George, Oscar Wilde, and William Graham Summer.
