Horatio Alger’s rags to riches novel was instrumental in perpetuating the myth of social mobility in the nineteenth century: the idea that anyone can pull himself up by his own bootstraps through hard work and persistence. The book was incredibly popular when it was first serialized in 1867 and became a cultural theme seen throughout the Gilded Age.
