What are the Rules of civility for persons of quality? Are they an outdated holdover from the Ancien Régime? Archaic manners designed for Lords and Ladies, obsequiously bowing before their King? Or if you prefer a more American, egalitarian example: are these rules for civility only followed by wealthy people in gated mansions and country clubs as a means of social exclusion? The ladies of the Mosaic Ark take a look at the etiquette lessons of the 17th century and discuss which manners have been lost, which seem to have been retained, and which should definitely be brought back. —Streamed March 28, 2025
