Books like Emily Post by Laura P. Claridge


Laura P. Claridge’s definitive biography traces Emily Post’s evolution from a privileged debutante in the Gilded Age to the author of her landmark work, Etiquette, first published in 1922. Born in 1873 to architect Bruce Price in Baltimore, Post’s early life in New York mingled with the likes of the Roosevelts, Astors, and J.P. Morgan. A scandalous divorce and subsequent career as a novelist and literary hostess exposed her to the social dynamics of her era. In middle age she pivoted toward teaching and publishing etiquette, which she updated continuously to reflect America’s shifting cultural landscape. Claridge illustrates how Post democratized manners, promoting ethical behavior for middle‑class and immigrant families and influencing American social norms well beyond her death in 1960.
