Description

Explore a sardonic view of the Jazz Age with The Golden Vanity, part of the Lost Urban Classics series from Routledge. Set against the backdrop of the 1920s and the aftermath of the 1929 stock market crash, this novel offers a sharp social comedy of errors. While authors like F. Scott Fitzgerald captured the high society love affairs of the era, this story provides a different perspective on how life changed for the wealthy after the economic downturn. The narrative follows the lives of three cousins living in New York City: Gina, Geraldine, and Mysie. Though they are related, these self-assertive women lead vastly different lives, ranging from the struggles of a secretary to other social roles. Through their unique experiences, the book examines the shifting social landscape of New York during a period of intense economic change. This historical fiction piece is a must-read for those interested in the social history and literature of the early 20th century.
