Unknown Author

4.9/5 (16744 ratings)

Description:This book, written in the 18th century by a "clever woman" from Germany and now brought to light by a dedicated scholar, offers a unique perspective on 18th century English society from the viewpoint of an intelligent, independent woman traveler. From her vantage point as a visitor in a foreign land, the author captures both the beauty and imperfections of her surroundings, incisively comparing and contrasting everyday life in London to her life back home. While she remarks on the politeness and learning of the English people, their advanced technological achievements, and their democratic government, she also discusses her observations on what she considers their eccentricities, inequalities, and sometimes shocking behavior. With wit and wisdom, the author presents a finely-honed and often critical portrait of a society that would soon rise to global dominance. This book is not only a fascinating window into the past, but also a resonant and insightful mediation on the nature of society and human nature itself.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
