| Summary | "The Gentleman and Lady's Book of Politeness and Propriety of Deportment" by Mme. Celnart is a guide on etiquette and social conduct written in the early 19th century. This work serves as an instructional manual, aimed at teaching young people the principles of politeness and proper behavior in various social situations, including religious observances, domestic duties, and formal interactions. The content reflects a focus on the cultural norms of France and their application across different contexts, targeting both gentlemen and ladies. The opening of the book lays the groundwork for its exploration of social propriety, emphasizing the importance of understanding and practicing the nuances of polite behavior. It begins with the introduction of "propriety of deportment," describing it as a harmonious blend of moral integrity and grace, which should govern both serious moral duties and lighthearted interactions. Mme. Celnart highlights that true politeness stems from self-awareness and respect for others, cautioning against superficial behavior that lacks sincerity. The chapters that follow promise to delve deeply into various nuances of etiquette, from religious conduct to interpersonal relations, teaching readers how to navigate the complexities of social interactions with grace and confidence.
