Lady Behave, A Guide to Modern Manners (1956) on Nick Harvill Libraries

Edwards, Anne. Lady Behave, A Guide to Modern Manners. First Edition. 1956. Book is in very good minus condition; dust jacket is in very good minus condition. Decorations by Geoffrey Salter.

Modernity is a relative term, tethered to a particular time and place. In this uncommon import from the UK, the milieu is post-War, yet still-aristocratic Britain. It is the perfect book for the Anglophile, with advice on Ascot, presentation at court, weekend house parties, and how and when to interject common foreign phrases into conversation (answer supplied by none other than Winston Churchill himself). One section particularly helpful to Americans concerns the oddities of cross-the-pond pronunciation (Beauchamp = Beacham, Milnes = Mills, Buccleugh = Bucloo, etc.). An attractive book.
