Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an anthology of funny, witty, and absurd etiquette guides, poems, and short stories from the 19th century, a time when etiquette and social rules were seen as paramount. It is packed with humorous and satirical takes on everything from table manners to courtship and marriage, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the social customs and values of the Victorian era. Themes in the book include concerns with politeness, respecting rank and file, courtship, marriage, fashion, and social standing. The author pokes fun at the seriousness with which society treated these topics and scrutinizes the upper-class preoccupation with social rules, rank, and money. Ultimately, the book serves as a reminder that while social norms change over time, the human desire for connection and belonging remains constant.
