In the 1880-90s, servants experienced a transition in how they viewed their work. Being “in service” was no longer considered “a lifelong career”; instead, servants began to look around & wonder “why can’t I have a piece of this pie?”#TheGildedAge#history https://t.co/M7NMo8WkUc
If #TheGildedAge intends to have Mrs. Russell have a "These tricks shall rue the day!" breakdown in every episode, let it be known that I am 100% here for it. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.
Another great line from #TheGildedAge
The show is set in 1882, so Sherman’s march was 18 years earlier - likely the year the young characters were born, but well within the memory of their parents, aunts, and uncles. #Twitterstorians
Me he quedado prendada de los primeros episodios de la serie de época #TheGildedAge de HBOMAX 😍
Todo de ella me gusta ❤ y en especial los personajes femeninos.
To help you make the most out of Julian Fellowes tour of the 19th century New York upper-class, here’s a list to all the main characters in the show’s universe and the actors that portray them. | @Collider #TheGildedAge#TheGildedAgeHBO#NYCHistory https://t.co/U3CC7yyMzv
@Gilded_History@Collider Also, nothing to do with history, but many of the actors in the show may be not as known in the tv and film world, but are Broadway vets. After two massive B'way roles, I don't think that makes Denée Benton "a relative newcomer to the acting world."
@Gilded_History@Collider Some factual inaccuracies in this article. The Mrs. Astor (or "THE Mrs. Astor," lol) played by Donna Murphy was NOT the Mrs. Astor on the Titanic. That was her daughter in law.
Yes, I am biased BUT really is there a more interesting and relevant period than the Gilded Age and Progressive Era?? (I know every #Twitterstorian thinks this about their era but STILL :) Just check out this list of January essays rounded up by @shgape! https://t.co/JLbEkM5bCd
