Lord Chesterfield's Two Burlesque Plays: Graces (1774) and Etiquette for Refined Gentlemen (1776) are humorous works that parody the letters of English actor and writer Lord Chesterfield. In these books, the author successfully combined sophistication and humor, revealing stereotypes of social class and etiquette of the 18th century. Readers will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the time when every gesture, word and deed had its own meaning - but with additional sharp humor and irony. These works will undoubtedly bring readers not only pleasure from reading, but also smiles of a bright mood."
