About This Item
UK: Amberley Publishing, 2015. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Amberley Publishing, 2015. Paperback in Very Good Condition. Bright, clean wraps with slight wear to corners; glued binding is tight, solid and square. Internals are in Fine Condition--very clean, completely unmarked, not toned, no creases. When the First World War ended, the landed classes in England tried to return to the pre-war world by pleasure-seeking in nightclubs, sporting events, and country house week-ends. Yet, overshadowing all this were the economic pressures of the decade--increased taxation, death duties, declining farm rentals which reduced landed income. The 1920s as described in this book show a decade of flux for High Society, with light-hearted antics of the 'Bright Young People' contrasting with the financial anxieties and problems faced by their parent's generation. 319 pp. with Notes and Index. size: 8vo. 2015, Amberley Publishing. ISBN10: 1445644770, ISBN13: 9781445644776
