About this book
In an era marked by rapid urbanization and the rise of a new social elite, "Manners for the Metropolis: An Entrance Key to the Fantastic Life of The 400" by Francis W. Crowninshield offers a sharp critique of the etiquette that governed the lives of the affluent. This satirical guide delves into the intricacies of social conduct, revealing the unspoken rules that dictated interactions among the upper crust. With its focus on the lavish lifestyles and pretentious norms of the wealthy, this document serves as both a mirror and a mockery of early 20th-century society. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, Crowninshield's work invites readers to reflect on the complexities of class and culture in a rapidly changing world.
