Sinopsis

In "True Politeness: A Hand-book of Etiquette for Ladies," the anonymous author offers a comprehensive guide to the subtleties of social conduct and decorum designed specifically for women in the 19th century. Emphasizing the interplay between social class and behavior, the book meticulously outlines the expectations of femininity and propriety prevalent in Victorian society. Richly didactic in tone and adorned with practical examples, the text addresses everything from communication to dress, reflecting a literary style that is both instructive and reflective of the broader social norms of its time. The work serves as both a manual and a commentary on the implications of etiquette in reinforcing societal hierarchies and individual identity in a rapidly changing world. The author's anonymity not only invites speculation regarding their identity but also signifies a broader cultural phenomenon where many female voices remained unacknowledged. This subtle evasion of personal authorship allows the text to resonate more universally with its intended audience, many of whom would have been navigating the complexities of their roles as women in an increasingly modern society. It reveals a keen awareness of the challenges faced by women in asserting their status and dignity. "True Politeness" is an essential read for those interested in the evolution of social customs and gender roles. Its insights into the intricate dance of etiquette not only elucidate the norms of the past but also provide valuable lessons for contemporary readers seeking to understand the enduring significance of civility in social interactions. This book is an indispensable resource for history enthusiasts, cultural scholars, and anyone interested in the nuances of social engagement.

The Irish in the Resistance -...

John Morgan, Clodagh Finn

'You simply couldn't stand by with your arms folded.'
These were the words of Samuel Beckett who famously returned to France from a holiday in Ireland when World War II broke out. His clandestine work against the Nazi occupation of Europe is well documented, but there were many other ordinary Irish people who joined the underground network.
Some took up arms. Others gathered intelligence, sheltered fugitives, committed acts of sabotage or broke codes. This new history tells the stories of those forgotten Irish men and women.
Discover Captain John Keany from Cork, who parachuted into occupied Italy to help the local Resistance; Margaret Kelly, the Dublin founder of the world-famous Bluebell Girls cabaret troupe in Paris, who hid her Jewish husband; and Catherine Crean, the Irish governess born on Moore Street, Dublin, who was sent to a concentration camp for helping Allied airmen in Belgium.
These, and many more stories, span the course of World War II and remind us of the power of individuals to make a difference.
'An eye-opening account of how ordinary people caught up in extraordinary situations helped to fight the Nazis' David McCullagh
