Men, Women and Manners in Colonial Times

by Sydney George Fisher

This reprint makes available Fisher's classic work of social history, originally published in 1897). The work may now be considered more opinion than fact, but Fisher was groundbreaking in including the lives of women in his study, and his ideas make sense within the artifacts (architectural and otherwise) and documents then available. He moves from New England southwards to examine the different intentions, conventions and consequences of the lives of the colonists, both public and private.
