Summary "English Society" by George Du Maurier is a collection of satirical illustrations and commentary on the social dynamics of the English upper class, written during the late 19th century. This work provides a humorous yet insightful look into the customs, behaviors, and quirks of society during this period. Du Maurier, known for his keen perceptions of human nature, captures the essence of Victorian-era social gatherings, relationships, and the often absurd rituals that defined the life of the affluent. The content of the book comprises a series of illustrations accompanied by witty dialogue and captions that depict various social scenes and interactions among the English elite. Each illustration encapsulates the subtleties of class distinctions, social aspirations, and the often humorous misunderstandings that arise within polite society. Characters like the gallant admiral, the fashionable hostess, and various attendees at social gatherings are portrayed with a blend of affection and critique, revealing the contradictions and eccentricities of the time. Overall, "English Society" remains a charming exploration of social manners and mores that continues to resonate with readers seeking a glimpse into a bygone era.
