Synopsis
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.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. The solical calendar- the Victorians and Edwardians annual programme for living- was a phenomenon of wuite extraordinary complexity, practical usefulness and strength. It not only provided the social framework- the balls, dinner parties, sporting events- within which Society operated and (in the nineteenth century at least) political power was exercised but also controlled admission into Society itself:being present at an event patronised by Society meant that one was accepted by members of Society.A witty account of a sparkling era, with lovely drawings and cartoons, fashion drawings and photographs.
