Description
How men and women interact, the respect young show old and old show young, and who doffs their hat to whom provides a telling window on American cultural history.
Bowing To Necessities is the chronologically most wide-ranging study, covering the long period of 1620 to 1860, of its kind.
Working through two centuries of conduct literature, Professor Hemphill provides a wonderful retelling of American history to the Civil War, illuminating crucial connections between evolving class, gender, and age relations along the way.
