Gilded Age
The Gilded Age
in
United States history
is the late 19th century, from the 1870s to about 1900. The term was coined by writer
Mark Twain
in
The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today
(1873), which satirized an era of serious social problems masked by a thin
gold gilding
. The early half of the Gilded Age roughly coincided with the middle portion of the
Victorian era
in Britain and
Belle Époque
in France.
