Description
by Blake Whitworth (Author)
Step through the doors of Newport' s legendary mansions and into a world of glittering wealth, whispered secrets, and relentless ambition. Newport' s Gilded Age brings to life one of America's most extravagant chapters-a time when marble palaces lined Bellevue Avenue, fortunes were flaunted like trophies, and society's most powerful names played a high-stakes game of influence and display. Here, the Vanderbilts, Astors, and Oelrichs sparred for dominance with parties so lavish they filled national headlines.
Beneath the grandeur, an entire hidden world labored in silence. Butlers moved unseen through hidden corridors, Irish maids whispered confidences behind linen closets, and artisans carved stone and wood that still dazzles visitors today. Their untold stories of endurance, ambition, and resilience-add depth and humanity to the myth of Newport' s "summer cottages."
You'll discover:
- The evolution of Newport from colonial port to the nation' s Belle Époque playground.
- Scandals, masquerades, and romances that rocked society columns from New York to London.
- Life upstairs and downstairs, contrasting the ritualized splendor of high society with the grit of those who served them.
- The fall of an era, as war, reform, and changing fortunes ended the age of unchecked opulence.
