About this product

Product Information

This book talks about how to pay and return formal 'calls'; how to refuse a proposal of marriage; who should lead off the dancing at a country-house ball; and what to wear for a morning walk. Today such social niceties are largely ignored or forgotten, but they underpin all of Jane Austen's timeless novels and are explored and dealt with in this highly original book. Written as if intended for Austen's original readers in the Regency era, and illustrated with exquisitely witty watercolours, Jane Austen's Guide to Good Manners is a light-hearted, entertaining and instructive little handbook of etiquette as depicted in Jane's novels and letters. It will not only offer sound wisdom and pearls of advice, but also encourage the modern-day reader to look back at Jane's work with a new and deepened appreciation.

Item was just as described (near new) and I had excellent communication with this seller. The item arrived much sooner than expected, which was a nice surprise. The only downside was the item could have been packaged better as the packaging was torn in places, exposing the the dust jacket of the book when I received it. Overall, a positive transaction.

  • How to life politely in Jane Austen Land

    So good to read about manners and mores of the times Jane Austen writes about. I have been re-reading all Jane Austen's works during the 'lockdown' and it is such a comfort to read about more, apparently, placid and humane times; albeit that they had their own drawbacks and problems. Some of the etiquette is just common sense and manners which always smooth one's path through life - others are more arcane and some just truly weird. Whatever category a chapter falls in it is a good, and sometimes humorous read.
