Morton, Agnes H.
Etiquette
Produced by Al Haines
"Etiquette" by Agnes H. Morton is a guidebook on social manners written in the early 20th century. It offers practical insights into the principles of good manners and the importance of etiquette in everyday life, emphasizing that proper social behavior is crucial for harmonious living. The work aims to address the needs of average individuals rather than those belonging to elite social circles, making it accessible and relevant to a broader audience. At the start of the text, Morton sets the tone for her exploration of etiquette by discussing the necessity and significance of good manners in both personal and public interactions. She provides a rationale for the book, acknowledging that while extreme formalities might not apply to most readers, the essence of courteous behavior remains vital. The opening further introduces the concept that etiquette is not merely about following rules but is rooted in ethical considerations that promote social harmony, suggesting that true courtesy integrates a respectful mindset towards oneself and others. This foundational approach establishes the groundwork for the various topics that will be covered throughout the work, including specifics like the use of visiting cards and the nuances of formal dining settings.
