| Summary | "Manners and Social Usages" by M. E. W. Sherwood is an etiquette manual likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the principles of social conduct, aiming to provide guidance on proper manners pertinent to various aspects of life in American society, particularly as it contrasts with European customs. The opening of the manual establishes the context for its creation, highlighting the unique nature of American society, which was evolving rapidly in the absence of a structured aristocracy. Sherwood elaborates on how etiquette is influenced by both tradition and contemporary social changes, leading to the necessity of creating a distinct American etiquette that balances respectability and accessibility. Prominent themes in the introduction revolve around addressing common questions regarding manners in social situations, the role of women in shaping social gatherings, and the challenges of navigating these evolving customs. The text invites readers to approach the nuances of etiquette with both respect and adaptability, highlighting the significance of good manners as a reflection of one’s character and societal contributions.
