Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in the 18th century, offers a unique perspective on the societal issues within the hierarchical structures of the time. The author argues that despite their positions of power, the upper classes are as subject to vanity and vices as the lower classes but have more capacity to act upon their desires. The author coins the term "epistolary tyranny" to describe power imbalances in relationships between men and women through letter writing, a common form of communication at the time. This book delves into historical events to explore how the erosion of the power of the monarchy had led to a decline in public morality and explores how these societal issues created an environment where virtue was seen as weakness and vice was celebrated as power. The author's insights into the human condition make this book a valuable read for anyone interested in history, sociology, or the timeless dynamics of power and morality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
