Mrs. Albert Grundy

Mrs. Albert Grundy: Observations In Philistia is a book written by Frederic Harold, a British journalist and author. The book is a satirical commentary on the middle-class society of the late 19th century, specifically the narrow-mindedness, hypocrisy, and conformity of the so-called ""Philistines"". The titular character, Mrs. Albert Grundy, represents the epitome of this society, with her conservative views, obsession with propriety, and disdain for anything unconventional or progressive. The book is structured as a series of observations and anecdotes, with each chapter focusing on a different aspect of Philistine life, such as religion, education, politics, and social etiquette. Through these observations, Harold exposes the absurdity and shallowness of the Philistine mindset, while also highlighting the importance of individuality, creativity, and intellectual curiosity. Overall, Mrs. Albert Grundy: Observations In Philistia is a witty and insightful social critique that remains relevant today, as it challenges readers to question their own values and prejudices, and to embrace diversity and open-mindedness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
