<div>In the Fezziwig postings, at times there has been an almost-obsessive focus on the exact protocal for a particular situation. Granted, Victorian high or "Gaskellian" society was much more rigidly governed by expectations than is our counterpart. I guess my question is a two-parter: <br/> <br/> Was much allowance made for good intention (for example, the human labrador retriever: boundless energy, furiously-wagging tail, enthusiasm likely to knock one over), to cover or accept some departure from social norms? What social consequence would such a good-natured bounder face? <br/> In your own opinions, to what degree should we emulate not only the customs of Victorian society, but the strictness with which they were applied?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://yesteryeartoday.tribe.net">Fezziwig's Guide to Dance and Etiquette</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Welcome. <br/>For quite some time I've had a notion, that we need a guide in the tradition of the dance and etiquette books of the 19th century, for our reinactments or recreations of the 19th century. <br/> <br/>The manners, morals, and dance forms of the 19th century do not always mesh with the manners, morals and dance of the 21st century. <br/> <br/>I've made a small start, and I'm hoping to use this forum both to gain insights in to the problems that people come across, and to help those that request it.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://yesteryeartoday.tribe.net">Fezziwig's Guide to Dance and Etiquette</a> - 0 replies </div>
