The Washingtonians is a novel written by Pauline Bradford Mackie and published in 1902. The story is set in Washington D.C. during the late 19th century and follows the lives of a group of socialites who are part of high society in the city. The main character, Alice Van Kirk, is a young woman who is drawn into this world by her wealthy and influential aunt. As Alice navigates the complexities of Washington society, she becomes involved in a love triangle with two men: the charming and wealthy Stephen Van Cortlandt and the ambitious and politically savvy Senator Randolph. Along the way, Alice also discovers the dark side of Washington society, including corruption, greed, and scandal. The novel is a commentary on the excesses and moral decay of the Gilded Age, and it explores themes of love, power, and social status. Mackie's writing is richly descriptive, and she paints a vivid picture of Washington society and its inhabitants. The Washingtonians is a fascinating look at a bygone era and a reminder that the more things change, the more they stay the same.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
