  • The Effect of School Closure On
    Social Status, the Patriarch and Assembly Balls, and the Transformation in Elite Identity in Gilded Age New York by Mei-En Lai B.A. (Hons.), University of British Columbia, 2005 Thesis Submitted In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Mei-En Lai 2013 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2013 Approval Name: Mei-En Lai Degree: Master of Arts (History) Title of Thesis: Social Status, the Patriarch and Assembly Balls, and the Transformation in Elite Identity in Gilded Age New York Examining Committee: Chair: Roxanne Panchasi Associate Professor Elise Chenier Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Jennifer Spear Supervisor Associate Professor Lara Campbell External Examiner Associate Professor, Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Simon Fraser University Date Defended/Approved: January 22, 2013 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Abstract As exclusive upper-class balls that represented a fraction of elites during the Gilded Age, the Patriarch and Assembly Balls were sites where the Four Hundred engaged in practices of distinction for the purposes of maintaining their social statuses and of wresting social power from other fractions of elites. By looking at things such as the food, décor, and dancing at these balls, historians could arrive at an understanding of how the Four Hundred wanted to be perceived by others as well as the various types of capital these elites exhibited to assert their claim as the leaders of upper-class New York. In addition, in the process of advancing their claims as the rightful leaders of Society, the New York Four Hundred transformed elite identity as well as upper-class masculinity to include competitiveness and even fitness and vigorousness, traits that once applied more exclusively to white middle-class masculinity.

Thanks also to the librarians who helped me locate material from vol. 2 of Success magazine. Those issues, dating from December 1898 through November 1899, are missing from the microfilm record, having apparently never been photographed. I am grateful to Ann Dodge, coordinator of reader services in the Special Collections Department of John Hay Library at Brown University, who located the original issues on her shelves, and to Kathleen Brooks, library technical assistant, who kindly paged through each issue in search of Partlan material. In the process, she discovered “One Woman’s Hard Road to Fortune,” a profile of Partlan which I had not seen cited anywhere and which I was unaware of.

It is about class, consumption and culture; it is also about food and identity. In the mid-nineteenth century, restaurants served French food prepared by European chefs to elite Americans with aristocratic pretensions. “Turning the Tables” explores the subsequent transformation of aristocratic restaurants into public spaces where the middle classes could feel comfortable dining. Digging deeply into the changes restaurants underwent at the turn of the century, I argue that the struggles over restaurant culture—the battles over the French-language menu, the scientific eating movement, the celebration of cosmopolitan cuisines, the growing acceptance of unescorted women diners, the failed attempts to eliminate tipping—offer evidence that the urban middle class would play a central role in the construction of twentieth-century American culture.

  • The Creation of the Modern American Restaurant
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES DELMONICO’S: THE CREATION OF THE MODERN AMERICAN RESTAURANT ANDREW D’AVERSA SPRING 2014 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in History and Management with honors in History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Bryan McDonald, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of History Thesis Supervisor Michael Milligan, Ph.D. Senior Lecturer in History Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to examine the creation of the modern American restaurant and the factors that formed it through the lens of Delmonico’s. Delmonico’s is widely considered the first restaurant in America. During its lifetime, Delmonico’s earned international acclaim for its classical French cuisine and excellent service. This thesis traces Delmonico’s almost century- long history, from its beginnings in 1827 through 1848, its golden era until 1896, and its downfall in the 1920s. By combining both business and social history, this thesis argues for Delmonico’s rightful place in the historical record and explains why the restaurant model developed by Delmonico’s was successful. To achieve this result, many primary sources, including memoirs, cookbooks written by former Delmonico’s chefs, and a plethora of newspaper articles are analyzed. This thesis will fill the gap in the scholarly record, both of a critical view of Delmonico’s and the reasons for the restaurant format’s prominence from the mid-nineteenth century forward in America. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements .................................................................................................................

  • Book Club Friends
    DEAR BOOK CLUB FRIENDS, Thank you so much for selecting The Social Graces for your book club discussion. I’d like to personally welcome you to the opulence and splendor of the Gilded Age, which in my opinion is one of the most fascinating chapters in America’s history. This is actually the second time I’ve written in this time period. The first was in my 2014 novel, What the Lady Wants, which focused on the retail tycoon Marshall Field during Chicago’s Gilded Age. Now, in The Social Graces, we turn our attention to New York City and the larger-than-life women who ran society. The Industrial Revolution of the late nineteenth century and the ending of the Civil War created immense fortunes for individuals and families who were either rooted in or had relocated to New York City. Within this immense pool of wealth there were two distinct groups: the original settlers of New York, known as the Knickerbockers or colloquially the old money, and the emerging merchants and industrialists known as the nouveau riche or the new money. Never shall the twain meet! At least that was the cry of the Knickerbockers who did everything in their power to keep the nouveau riche out of high society. Caroline Astor, commonly referred to as The Mrs. Astor, was the reigning queen of the Knickerbockers and therefore of New York society. Her rival, Alva Vanderbilt, represented the nouveau riche. The Social Graces is their story and their battle for control of society. Based on true events, it’s a rich story (pun intended) filled with gos- sip, scandal and ladies behaving badly.
