13488-2 Race and Society this set is handsome onThis survey of manners and morals, and how they are expressed subtley or in a straightforward manner in 18th century novels, reflects very much on the author's own time as well, as his analysis uses many comparisons to his present day. He discusses issues like prisons, drinking, masquerades, religion, love, marriaige, refinement, swearing, gambling, duelling, and many more. A favorite section is "Danger of mistaking Satire and Caricature for Truth."
