Other Times, Other Manners is a collection of short stories by renowned American author Edith Wharton. The stories are set in different times and places, exploring the social norms and customs of various societies. The characters in the stories come from different walks of life, but are all struggling to navigate the expectations of their societies. From a young woman in 18th century France who must choose between love and duty, to a wealthy American woman in the early 20th century who is forced to confront the limitations of her privileged life, Wharton's stories offer a fascinating glimpse into the complexities of human relationships and the ways in which societal norms shape our lives. With her trademark wit and insight, Wharton deftly explores themes of love, marriage, class, and gender, making this collection a must-read for fans of classic literature.Mrs. Lidcote returned his smile. It's extraordinary. Everything's changed. Even Susy has changed; and you know the extent to which Susy stood for old New York. There's no old New York left, it seems. She talked in the most amazing way. She snaps her fingers at the Purshes. She told me -- me, that every woman had a right to happiness, that self-expression was the highest duty. She accused me of misunderstanding Leila; she said my point of view was conventional!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
