Blue And Gold (1895)

By William Sinclair Lord

Book Overview

Blue and Gold is a novel written by William Sinclair Lord and published in 1895. The story takes place in New York City during the late 1800s and follows the life of a young man named John Hazard. John is a wealthy and privileged young man who attends Harvard University and is a member of the prestigious Blue and Gold Club. The novel explores themes of privilege, social class, and the corrupting influence of power. John's experiences at Harvard and within the Blue and Gold Club lead him down a path of moral decay and ultimately, tragedy. The novel is also a commentary on the excesses of the Gilded Age, a time of great wealth and industrial expansion in the United States. Through John's story, Lord exposes the dark underbelly of this era, where wealth and power often came at a great cost to society as a whole. Overall, Blue and Gold is a thought-provoking and cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked privilege and the corrupting influence of power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
