About This Item
MP3 Audio CD. Emily Post?s name is synonymous with good manners, and Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home is her treatise on the subject. The book is still an authority on the questions surrounding proper etiquette in specific contexts, including how to behave at public gathering, weddings, funerals, at social clubs, while participating in sporting events, and how to go about giving and receiving invitations and letters.
Post meticulously addresses the many nuances of social etiquette, including how to behave when confronted with particular situations. She describes how to properly introduce a person according to his or her sex, social status, and employment. She disparages New Yorkers because of their poor manners and discusses variations in proper etiquette according to location. She gives sage advice regarding dinner parties, imploring her readers not to perform culinary experiments on their guests. She entreats parents to practice good manners in front of their children, saving quarrels and disagreements for private sessions.
The book contains 38 chapters, each devoted to a different area of proper etiquette. However, Even Emily Post realizes that politeness has its limitations. She states, ?Alas! it is true: ?Be polite to bores and so shall you have bores always round about you.??
