13488-2 Race and Society and he must return toThis 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.
