What was a goal of writers, such as Mark Twain, during the Gilded Age?

Mark Twain called the late 19th century the "Gilded Age." By this, he meant that the period was glittering on the surface but corrupt underneath. It is easy to caricature the Gilded Age as an era of corruption, conspicuous consumption, and unfettered capitalism.

Hope it helps! ^_^
