O knihe

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; 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.
