"The Etiquette of Engagement and Marriage" by G. R. M. Devereux is a guide written in the early 20th century, offering insights into the customs and manners surrounding courtship, engagement, and marriage during that era. This work delves into the evolving nature of romantic relationships and societal expectations, highlighting the importance of etiquette at every stage of courtship and marriage. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the changing perceptions of courtship, contrasting the modern practices of the early 1900s with traditional views. Devereux reflects on how earlier customs, which involved formality and chivalry, have relaxed, yet he urges that etiquette still plays a vital role in romantic pursuits. He introduces various facets of courtship, including the significance of social interactions, desirable occasions for meeting potential partners, and the importance of tact and decorum in navigating these new relationships. The author emphasizes the nuanced dynamics of love, respect, and interpersonal relationships, underscoring the essential principles that should guide individuals as they embark on a romantic journey toward marriage.
