Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home, by Emily Post
Feeling a little incorrect? Or want to prove you've been right all along? Join in! Let's see how well this translates to today.
Volunteers outside the USA: Emily Post died in 1960. Her work is still protected by copyright in places, like Europe, where copyright is author's death plus 70 years, or Canada/Australia (author's death plus 50 years).
Short description: Far from being a proscriber of minutiae, Post the philosopher offers a way of living: “Manners are made up of trivialities of deportment which can be easily learned if one does not happen to know them; manner is personality—the outward manifestation of one’s innate character and attitude toward life.” Post gives us thousands of tips on correspondence, wedding planning, party giving and conduct in every public or private setting. (from Bartleby)
- How to claim a part, and 'how it all works' here
To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are “up for grabs.” Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you’d like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording. - New to recording?
Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording! - Is there a deadline?
Target completion date of this project: September 1, 2007 – but try to send your recordings as soon as you can. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it’ll go back to the pool. There’s no shame in this; we’re all volunteers and things happen. - Where do I find the text?
Bartleby e-text: http://www.bartleby.com/95/ - Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column in the box)!
For chapters split into parts: the Bartleby text has paragraph numbers along the right-hand side of each page. The paragraphs included in each section are listed in the box. If there are any questions, please let me know.
NOTE: The chapter lengths listed in the Title column are estimates of finished (edited) length. For chapters split into more than one section, each section is around 20-30 min. in length.
