This study traces the tradition of conduct fiction in the works of 19th-century women writers such as Mary Herbert, Rosanna Leprohon, Sara Jeannette Duncan and L. M. Montgomery. What should a young lady wear to a ball? How many glasses of punch should she drink? Should she take second helpings, or accept presents from a gentleman?
These and other fascinating questions are addressed in a study that will be of interest not just to students of Canadian Literature, but also to social and cultural historians as well as to the general reader.
