![Jese Leos](https://encyclopedia.apooobooks.com/author/w-h-auden.jpg)
Ragtime is set during a period of great social and political change in the United States. The country was undergoing rapid industrialization, which led to the growth of cities and the emergence of a new middle class. At the same time, the United States was experiencing a wave of immigration from Europe and Asia. These new arrivals brought with them their own cultures and traditions, which added to the country's already diverse population.
Ragtime features a large cast of characters from all walks of life. The three main families are the Vanderbilts, a wealthy white family; the Coalhouses, a black family; and the Tatehs, a Jewish family. Other characters include Evelyn Nesbit, a famous actress; J.P. Morgan, a powerful banker; and Harry Houdini, a world-renowned magician.
Ragtime explores a wide range of themes, including race, class, immigration, and the American Dream. The novel shows how these themes are interconnected and how they shape the lives of the characters. Ragtime is a challenging novel, but it is also a rewarding one. It is a novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
