Klassiker om etikette fra 1897. Gave til noens bedre halvdel?
« “In this 1897 volume, her only book, MRS. E. E. HUMPHRY (fl. 1885–1910), a journalist and a member in proper Edwardian society, instructs how to conduct oneself as a gentleman in proper Edwardian society.
Covering such topics as choosing a profession, dining out, walking down the street, and dancing, Humphry’s good-manners guide is a fascinating glimpse into the social mores of a bygone era. It also offers a unique perspective on the changing role of women in society, as Humphry—writing from the point of view of a strict mistress that could condemn one to social ruin for a single slip—offers insight into the expectations of the time.
Though few lessons here are still applicable to today’s casual culture, the book remains a curious glimpse into society at the turn of the 20th century.»
