{"product_id":"letters-9780199554843","title":"Letters","description":"Not originally intended for publication, the celebrated and controversial correspondences between Lord Chesterfield and his son Philip, dating from 1737, were praised in their day as a complete manual of education, and despised by Samuel Johnson for teaching the morals of a whore and the\u003cbr\u003emanners of a dancing-master. Reflecting the political craft of a leading statesman and the urbane wit of a man who associated with Pope, Addison, and Swift, \u003cem\u003eLord Chesterfield's Letters\u003c\/em\u003e reveal the author's political cynicism, his views on good breeding, and instruction to his son in etiquette and\u003cbr\u003ethe worldly arts. The only annotated selection of this breadth available in paperback, these entertaining letters illuminate the fascinating aspects of eighteenth-century life and manners. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003eFor over 100 years \u003cstrong\u003eOxford World's Classics\u003c\/strong\u003e has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
