Beschreibung

In "English Society," George Du Maurier masterfully dissects the intricacies of Victorian social interactions and class dynamics through a satirical lens. The book employs a rich tapestry of humor and keen observation, offering an incisive critique of the mores and pretenses inherent within the upper echelons of society. Written amidst the cultural upheaval of the late 19th century, Du Maurier's work illuminates the often absurd behaviors surrounding social ambition, marriage, and the roles that dictate existence in a rapidly changing world. His penetrating insight and vivid characterization make the narrative both engaging and thought-provoking. George Du Maurier was not only a novelist but also a successful cartoonist whose acute awareness of societal nuances was sharpened by his experiences in the artistic and literary circles of London. His background as a member of the upper-middle class infused him with both privilege and a critical eye towards the societal structures around him. Du Maurier's firsthand observations of the era's conventions and contradictions shaped his satirical approach, imbuing "English Society" with authenticity and depth. For readers seeking to understand the complexities of Victorian life and the interplay of social customs, "English Society" is an essential read. Du Maurier's blend of humor, critique, and vivid storytelling invites both entertainment and reflection, making it a timeless exploration of social strata that resonates even in contemporary discussions of class and society.

    Excerpt from Chapter One 
    In 1815 the Emperor was no longer a lean, sinewy, tireless, eternally vigilant human tiger—the Napoleon of Rivoli and Marengo. He was no longer the consummate General-in-Chief of Austerlitz and Wagram. The mysterious lethargy which had overwhelmed him at the critical hour of Borodino, when he withheld the order for the Old Guard to charge and convert the Russian defeat into a decisive disaster, had been the first visit of the Evil Genius which was to come again. The strange loss of the power to decide between two totally different lines of action, which, at the Château Düben had kept him idle two days, lolling on a sofa, or sitting at his writing-table tracing on the paper big school-boy letters, was to become a recurrent calamity, puzzling all who knew him, and paralyzing the action of his lieutenants in the most critical emergencies'. 
    At Leipsic the reins had fallen from his hands; only one permanent bridge over the deep river in his rear had been provided to let him out of the death trap; and when the strong currents of the rout tore through the frantic city, the great Napoleon drifted with the furious tide, whistling vacantly. 
    The same unexplainable eclipse of genius, which General E. P. Alexander described as occurring to Stonewall Jackson, in the Malvern Hill movements of our Civil War, happened to the French Emperor, time and again, after that first collapse at Borodino. 
    In Spain he ordered a madly reckless charge of his Polish Light Cavalry against the heights of Sommo Sierra, where the Spanish army was entrenched and where the position easily admitted of successful flanking, got his best troops wastefully butchered—and could not afterward remember who gave the order to charge! 
    In Dresden, in 1813, he had won a brilliant victory which needed only to be ruthlessly pushed; and he was pushing it with all his tremendous driving power when, in the twinkle of an eye, his Evil Genius descended upon him, took his strength away...

    In The Ethics of Rhetoric, Richard M. Weaver evaluates the ethical and cultural role of rhetoric and its reflection on society. Weaver draws upon classical notions of rhetoric in Plato's Phaedrus, and he examines the effectiveness and implications of the manipulation of language in the works of Lincoln, Burke, and Milton. In this collection of essays, Weaver examines how different types of rhetoric persuade, their varying levels of effectiveness and credibility, and how one's manner of argumentation and style of persuasion are indicative of character. Ultimately, Weaver argues that the cultivation of pure language creates pure people. Initially published in 1953, The Ethics of Rhetoric remains timeless in its evaluation of rhetoric's role in society. 
    Richard M. Weaver (1910-1963) an esteemed scholar, humanist, cultural critic, and political philosopher, revolutionized conservativism of the mid-twentieth century. Weaver's original scholarship produced groundbreaking insight on human nature and society.
