Ever wonder what it\\u2019s like to attend a class at Novel Pairings University? We have a special treat for our listeners as we prepare for #WhartonInWinter and our readalong of Edith Wharton\\u2019s Custom of the Country. Today on the main feed, we\\u2019re releasing the audio from our Patreon Class Gilded Age Literature: Entering Edith Wharton\'s World for everyone to enjoy.\\xa0\\xa0

In today\\u2019s class we talk about key literary figures of the Gilded Age, historical events and social movements that shaped this period, and how they connect to today. Plus, we share details about the grandiose drama, architecture, and wealth that give this period its weighty name. This episode is just one example of the public scholarship we\\u2019re creating on Patreon, where we teach classes on author and historical context, literary movements, critical lenses and more. We are working hard to convert past classes into exclusive Patreon episodes so you can catch up and listen on-the-go!
