The Epics of the Ton or The Glories of the Great World: A Poem in Two Books is a work of poetry written by Lady Anne Hamilton in 1807. The book is a satirical commentary on the social world of the upper class in England during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The title Ton refers to the fashionable society of the time, while epics refers to the grandiosity and exaggerated nature of the social scene.The first book of the poem focuses on the various characters and their social interactions, while the second book delves deeper into the flaws and vices of this society. Lady Anne Hamilton uses her wit and humor to expose the superficiality and hypocrisy of the Ton, while also highlighting the loneliness and emptiness that lies beneath the surface.Through her poetry, Lady Anne Hamilton provides a scathing critique of the societal norms and expectations of the time, challenging readers to question the values and beliefs of their own social circles. The Epics of the Ton or The Glories of the Great World is a fascinating insight into the world of the English upper class during a time of great change and upheaval.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
