Guides to Manners and Mores

In these less complicated and more civilized days, it is not uncommon that each person is trained for his or her class, given the proper bearing and the proper rules. These things are taken quite seriously among the People of the Day.

For you and I, however, we must make do.

You will find here a growing list of resources, from books to articles to games and music, that will help. None are a single suggested resource. Browse and enjoy.

Mind Your Manners

From the McCord Museum of Canadian History, this interactive guide and game (Flash required) is a bit short, but well worth the time taken.

The Gentleman's Page

A treatise on proper behavior specifically for men. (Admit it, gentlemen, we do need help to keep up our end of the social contract.) Also of interest would be the sections of Attire and Resources!

Youth's Educator for Home and Society, 1896

A much longer text, designed for both Gentleman and Lady alike.
