| Summary |
When it debuted in 1922 with a tiny first print run, Etiquette represented a fifty-year-old woman at her wisest?and a country at its wildest. Claridge addresses the secret of Etiquette?s tremendous success and gives us a panoramic view of the culture from which Etiquette took its shape, as its author meticulously updated her book twice a decade to keep it consistent with America?s constantly changing social landscape. A tireless advocate for middle-class and immigrant Americans, Emily Post became the emblem of a new kind of manners in which etiquette and ethics were forever entwined. Now, nearly fifty years after her death, we still feel her enormous influence on how we think Best Society should behave. |
