		<description><![CDATA[Despite its roots in European paganism, Halloween is a thoroughly American holiday. During the Gilded Age, Americans took Halloween quite seriously, even going so far as to celebrate it wherever they happened to be&#8211;as German society soon discovered when the expatriates residing in Berlin shook up the Kaiser&#8217;s capital with &#8220;games, Jack-o-lanterns, mince pies, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ It&#8217;s no secret that I find the &#8220;cottages&#8221; of Gilded Age Newport absolutely fascinating. While I have yet to visit the &#8220;Queen of Summer Resorts,&#8221; Kathrens brings a glimpse of this summer colony in his recent release, Newport Villas: The Revival Styles, 1885-1935. Between that fifty year period dozens of mansions and villas were [...]]]></description>

Fortunately for the press-hungry, a woman&#8217;s wedding was cause for pages and pages of articles devoted to announcements, details of the ceremony, and advice for the blushing bride. No [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gilded Age America saw not only a boom in millionaires, but a boom in immigration. During this era, approximately 10 million immigrants entered the United States,  hungry for religious freedom and greater prosperity. The most striking of these immigrants were Eastern European Jews fleeing the brutal pogroms of Imperial Russia between the years 1881-1924. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The lives of the working classes are largely ignored in today&#8217;s fiction, and if featured at all, rarely is there a full and varied perspective of their livelihoods. The glimpse given in Victorian and Edwardians At Work is both fascinating and poignant. Told in&#8211;I&#8217;d guess&#8211;nearly 200 postcards, the story ranges from military officers to [...]]]></description>

An occasion when the workingman takes a cane in place of a dinnerpail
and proudly tramps the streets behind a real silk banner
and a Hod Carrier on a Cart Horse. ~The Foolish Dictionary (1905)

		<description><![CDATA[Modern and avant-garde art introduced itself to 1913 New York much against the latter&#8217;s will. Since the emergence of Impressionism, many other shocking developments in artistic expression set the world afire. However, these movements were smaller, grounded by one or two artists, and usually returned underground after the public&#8217;s initial outrage. By the 1910s, these [...]]]></description>

From wikipedia:
The novel tells of a young man named Dorian Gray, the subject of a painting by artist Basil Hallward. Basil is impressed by Dorian&#8217;s beauty and becomes infatuated with him, believing his beauty is responsible for a new mode in his art. Talking in Basil&#8217;s garden, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, a friend of [...]]]></description>
