Ellie Hanrahan’s Reviews > The Age of Innocence > Status Update

A piece of media that is similar to the Age of Innocence is the "The Gilded Age" on HBO. They both take place 1800s New York. They both show the reputations of old and new money of this era. The new money families were seen as less than in society, "But the Beauforts were not exactly common; some people said they were even worse" (Wharton 19). Additionally, they both speak about how gossip can get around fast.
