Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the ways in which British aristocracy and commoners embraced and resisted the cultural impact of the French during the 18th century. While upper-class Britons sought to elevate their social status by imitating French fashion, language, and art, those of lower social classes held onto their traditional English pastimes. The author explores the reasons behind these contrasting behaviors, arguing that class-based anxieties fueled much of the tension between British and French culture during this period. The text draws on a variety of sources, including personal letters, diaries, and newspapers, to provide a rich and nuanced account of cross-cultural exchange during this fascinating period in history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
