Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an eloquent and celebratory account of the lavish entertainment provided by unmarried landowners of Devon, to the county's residents, at a subscription ball held in December 1825. The author, though not a native Devonian, has long been a resident of the county and composed the ode in commemoration of this once-in-a-lifetime occasion. The author's verse provides an intriguing glimpse into the traditions, landscape, and social customs of early 19th-century Devon. Whereas the county was well-known for its foxhunting culture, the ode reveals the attendees' willingness to embrace romance and revelry, as they danced, mingled, and enjoyed the festive atmosphere. The descriptive and evocative language used throughout this ode will appeal to readers interested in social and local history, particularly relating to the Regency period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
