The Glass of Fashion:
Some Social Reflection
by a Gentleman with a Duster (Edward Harold Begbie)
published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1921
hardcover book in good used condition
"A Gentleman with a Duster was the pen name that Edward Harold Begbie hid behind for his book, "The Glass of Fashion : Some Social Reflections" which is, in a way, a Jeremiad against the modern world a diatribe against the 'nouveau riche' and the encroaching vulgarity of style, which Mr. Begbie feared was steamrollering over British society like an unstoppable juggernaught. Of particular offense to Mr. Begbie's sensibilities was Dame Margot Asquith, who had just written a sort of tell-all memoir, which caused no end of indignation and dyspeptic choler. Begbie was "triggered" by Margot Asquith's style."
