About
First published in 1914, "The Turmoil" is the first novel from Booth Tarkington's 'Growth' trilogy, which is a fictional commentary on capitalism during the Second Industrial Revolution.
While Booth Tarkington's 'Growth Trilogy', which also includes "The Magnificent Ambersons" (1918) and "The Midlander" (1923, retitled National Avenue in 1927), appears on the surface to be about family, it is actually more about the economic changes that were occurring in America during the Second Industrial Revolution and how these changes impacted Midwesterners.
