“Wonderful . . . a splendid overview of Georgian history—upstairs and downstairs” (Publishing News).
This is a fascinating collection of first-hand accounts of life in the time of Jane Austen, from 1775-1817, showing how social standing and etiquette were prime considerations of the period and revealing the stark contrasts between classes and in the lives of men and women.
