The Strange and Absurd Rules Of Elizabethan Manners

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
England was the clear winner of the latter half of the 16th century. Flourishing under the reign of their industrious and stylish monarch, Queen Elizabeth I, it was between 1558 and 1603 that England emerged as the world s first real superpower. Elizabethan England also saw the birth of a cultural and courtly movement that makes even the most stringent and alien ritualized historical decorum look like totally reasonable practices. Sure, England was winning history at the time, but some of the rules of aristocratic etiquette they and the rest of the world operated under were straight up bananas.

Personally I don't think I would have called this a time where England became a super power. Much less the most powerful super power, I mean during the reign of Victoria you could say this. But during the reign of Queen Elizabeth they had a long way to go. I would say that they had started their rise, they finally had started to colonize the new world, and they beat the Spanish armada.

Funny how here we are laughing at outdated ritualistic manners when in reality just about every cultural through recorded history would be absolutely disgusted by modern societies complete lack of any kind of decency, grace or manners.

I find decorum and bearing a very attractive quality (to a degree) when proper manners become the center of attention it s a bit overbearing and takes away from the quality of conversation.

I'm in the middle of watching Harry and Meghan on Netflix. Hearing about the history of these formal expectations and understanding Prince Harry's experience is fascinating.

I don't understand why they keep using pictures from entirely different eras. I understand that stock pictures are limited but this is how misinformation starts.

Hey, for all her faults, Elizabeth was the one to put a legal end to Surfdom. So she wasn t all bad. Even this high brow lady saw that it was absolute nonsense.

Not being able to pet any cat or dog that came near me at dinner would 100% get me banned from Elizabethan high society. Would be worth it.

Sure I might offend some of the Upper Crust. But they'll strut around and say what is to be done with this Homer Simpson.
