Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A Gentleman with a Duster was the pen name that Edward Harold Begbie hid behind for his book, "The Glass of Fashion : Some Social Reflections" which is, in a way, a Jeremiad against the modern world .a diatribe against the 'nouveau riche' and the encroaching vulgarity of style,… which Mr. Begbie feared was steamrollering over British society like an unstoppable juggernaught . Of particular offense to Mr. Begbie's sensibilities was Dame Margot Asquith, who had just written a sort of tell-all memoir, which caused no end of indignation and dyspeptic choler. Begbie was "triggered" by Margot Asquith's style. In fact, going against tradition , whereby a frontispiece was reserved for someone or something honored (or the author), the book's frontispiece features a photograph of Lady Asquith, wearing her latest choice in fashion (Begbie admitted that he found her "disgusting"!) . I must say her clothing style does seem dreadful. But Begbie was railing against more than simple bad choice in personal apparel, he was going after the entire sense of modernity, speeding along, as it were with no thanks to tradition. A very fascinating book, and Mr. Begbies introduction, in which he sets out with a full broadside of unmuffled indignation, is worth the price of admission.
