Subdued Southern Nobility: A Southern Ideal (1882)

By One Of The Nobility

Book Overview

Subdued Southern Nobility: A Southern Ideal is a book written by an anonymous author who identifies themselves as a member of the Southern nobility. The book was first published in 1882 and presents a vision of what the author believes the Southern aristocracy should be like. The author argues that the Southern nobility should be characterized by a sense of duty and responsibility towards their fellow citizens, and that they should use their wealth and influence to promote the common good. The author also emphasizes the importance of education and culture, and argues that the Southern aristocracy should be well-educated and cultured in order to set an example for the rest of society. The book is written in a highly rhetorical and elevated style, and is intended to be both a celebration of the Southern aristocracy and a call to action for its members to live up to their ideals. Overall, Subdued Southern Nobility: A Southern Ideal is a fascinating glimpse into the world of the Southern aristocracy in the late 19th century, and a compelling argument for the importance of noblesse oblige.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
