About this book
In a rapidly industrializing society, the early 20th century witnessed a burgeoning obsession with material wealth and social status, epitomized by the allure of champagne. "The Champagne Standard" by Mrs. John Lane offers a compelling critique of this phenomenon through a series of incisive essays. Lane dissects the societal implications of materialism, challenging readers to reflect on the true value of status symbols and the pursuit of superficial pleasures. With sharp wit and keen observation, she explores themes of extravagance and authenticity, making this work essential for students, civic activists, and historians alike. Discover how Lane's insights resonate in today's consumer-driven culture, as she invites readers to reconsider their own standards of worth.
