Story of New York Society from the inside, “not the scandal side.”
This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of high society in New York City during the early 1900s. Pulitzer, who was a prominent journalist and publisher, provides readers with an insider's view of the social scene in New York City, including the parties, events, and personalities that defined the era. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of New York society. Pulitzer covers everything from the debutante balls and charity events that were popular among the city's elite to the private clubs and exclusive restaurants where they dined and socialized. He also provides readers with a detailed look at the fashion trends of the time, including the elaborate gowns and accessories worn by women and the formal attire favored by men. Throughout the book, Pulitzer offers his own observations and opinions on the people and events he describes. He is both critical and admiring of the socialites he encounters, and he is not afraid to call out their excesses and pretensions. At the same time, he is clearly enamored of the glamour and sophistication of New York society, and his writing reflects this fascination.
