Essential Handbook of Victorian Etiquette
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Wonderful book! Makes one wonder how the Victorians got anything done, what with all the rules and regulations. I found it to be a great deal of fun and educational, to boot. Especially liked the love letters.
A Good Book about American Victorian Etiquette!

This book is about life in the Victorian World when the British Empire never slept or the sun never set on it. America in the Victorian World was still a colony and indeed wanting to become it's own in identity. The book plays an important role in explaining that the rules and manner system of America was very similar to the British at least in the old families of Boston and Philadelphia.
Loved It!

My only problem with this little handy book is that it was too small. I found it very useful and would recommend it to people who are writing historical fiction or are interested in the time.

Entertaining etiquette book

What an entertaining book. Essential for understanding victorian way of life. If you are stuck reading plays like The Importance of Being Earnest or anything by Thomas Hardy, I would read this book to get a feel for the characters' lives. Entertaining because the book is written as if it was for a victorian reader.
