Bowing to Necessities: A History of Manners in America, 1620-1860
Hemphill, C. Dallett (Professor of History, Professor of History, Ursinus College)
Anglo-Americans wrestled with cultural contradictions as they shifted from the patriarchal society of the 17th-century to the class democracy of the mid-19th century. This title argues that manners provided ritual solutions to these problems just as these power relations underwent challenges.
