hardcover. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. This book is not designed to be a history, yet it is impossible to write about the rise and fall of the London season without considering the ways in which the aristocracy have adjusted themselves not only to the court and the Crown but also to influences from other countries, particularly France and the United States of America, from one Elizabethan era to another. This book has a serious intent, but it is also an entertainment. The author has caught and analysed the manners of society during four centuries. There is also the author's own oputrageous experiences during her two seasons. It is doubtful whether the London season now has any significance, although, as the author says 'snobbery is an intrinsic to the British as it ever was when Elizabeth I was rampant, or James sold titles in return for gold'. But its history is both fascinating and salutary.
