Synopsis: The original guide to good manners explains why &“nothing is less important than which fork you use.&”Etiquette is the science of living. It embraces everything. It is ethics. It is honor. A popular phenomenon when it was first published in 1922, Emily Post&’s Etiquette quickly established her as the undisputed authority on considerate behavior. Her books, syndicated column, and radio program soon made the phrase &“according to Emily Post&” part of the American lexicon. Though updated editions have appeared over the years, the original text is both a fascinating window into American high society at the dawn of the Roaring Twenties and a timeless testament to the value of social grace. Covering a broad range of topics, Etiquette includes chapters on &“Tea and Other Afternoon Parties,&” &“Balls and Dances,&” &“Etiquette in Business and Politics,&” and &“Travelling at Home and Abroad.&” This edition also includes an introduction by editor Richard Duffy as well as photographic illustrations throughout.
