The period known as the Gilded Age was characterized by extreme materialism and political corruption in the United States. This spanned the period from 1870 to 1890. The term was derived from the book The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873), written by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner.
In the book, the writers made pictorial representations of the greedy and rich political big wigs and industrialists and the extravagant lives they lived. It was a <em>gold gliding period</em>, which means that even though the surface was coated with gold, underneath lay a social behavior of little value.
