About
200 years have passed since Jane Austen
assumed that you, Gentle Reader, knew
the difference between a barouche and a
phaeton, or why a gentleman never lets
go of his hat when paying a morning call.
This entertaining and informative book
unlocks the mysteries of life among early
19th-century British landed gentry, and
helps you understand what Austen?s first
readers already knew. You?ll master the
intricacies of dressing, attending balls,
managing a large country house,
throwing dinner parties, ?making love?
as it was understood then, and much
more. Includes an Austen biography,
summaries of her novels, and glossary.
Hardcover; 244 pages, illustrated.
