The Social Calendar
Varebeskrivelse
The Social Calendar, emne: historie og samfund, This book is not merely a description of the annual round of events for the Victorians and Edwardians, it analyzes the rules, showing for instance, how the card-and-call routine served as a check on new entrants to Society; how the glamour of Presentation at Court helped to launch the debutante onto the marriage-market, and how the rich elaborate dinner parties represented for their hosts a pinnacle not of culinary but of social achievement. With wit, Sproule accounts a sparkling era with a shrewd analysis of its social structure to produce one of the most readable books on British society.
