- Have you always wanted to transform from street urchin to an elegant and refined Lady or Gentleman? Now's your chance! Explore the etiquette of daily life during the Edwardian era through a 1912 etiquette book.
"Captain, the Titanic just hit an iceberg, what do we do?"
"Well, let me just consult the etiquette book..."
I found this while looking for 1910s era etiquette and behavior for a tabletop campaign, and I did not expect to enjoy learning about this so much, I won't lie. You've made it very fun to watch, and the information is greatly appreciated! I love this! :D
Looks like I'll never be posh...
Move up on that bench. Same here.
Thanks..... Sorry Thank you for a wonderful presented video.
Love how you incorporate the bloopers and outtakes at the end lol.
Fantastic job as always!
Edwardians certainly had a way of doing things from dining to respecting other people and boy are strict on those acts. Your attempt at a posh accent is amusing but well performed and I've enjoyed the video overall!
This will be my starter pack to live like its Edwardian era. Thank you, and Another day, Another slay! PERIODT ✨💅
I'm all for retaining those table manners!
There's "freedom to", and "freedom from". Societies with rigid expectations about "treating ladies well" often come with major restrictions on what those ladies are permitted to do. (While generally expecting that poor and enslaved women are the absolute opposite of weak, delicate, or in need of protection from physical, or mental strain).
I'd also suggest, as part of a larger conversation that these rules, while very general, are part if an intentionally changeable fabric of extremely nuanced fashions in etiquette, designed with the intent of gatekeeping the new-rich from entering the circles of generational wealth.
While some rules had practical, respectful, reasons for existing that really made sense given the technology, infrastructure, meeting places, types of employment, transportation and other structures at the time. Even if we can't see their value today except as a form of gatekeeping.
(First of your videos I've seen, so I'm only aware of the perspectives stated in this particular one.)
Love it, great video as always.
So entertaining 👍🏼❤️
That's reet gud lass x
A'reyt Catherine. I have only just discovered this channel this week, but I have mentioned it in comments elsewhere already, like Scotland History Tours, today. I only started commenting on UA-cam and watching regularly during lockdown, mostly on US reaction channels, but my comments are generally in line with your videos, which I have been watching one after another. Do not be so hard on yourself for the early ones.
I am from Bradford, so only your rugby scarfe to pick on as a difference. I now live near Pontefract and my girlfriend grew up supporting Featherstone, though we are nearer your dad's age.
I usually tell Americans to watch Ripping Yarns, so your references to comedy sketches are pretty similar too.
As for this video, my gran used to tell me tales of being like the poor girl at that time, taken to visit relatives with more money, but because her gran ran off with a workman, only being allowed in the servants entrance.
It is nice to see someone else who is not at all posh and not trying to be, despite going to university.
I cannot get over how much those ornaments are like my parents and grandparents had, plus all those bits and bats. I still have boxes full, that I have yet to find a home for. My mum used to do home cooking and baking and my dad home brewing. The dressing up choices are similar to stuff I wore on New Year's Eve at about your age too.
Good luck with the book!
I just found your channel. Your videos are lovely. Subscribed.😊
Informative as always.
Love it! Great stuff as always. Plus the pics and hints from your twitter feed make sense as I watch the vid :) Keep up the great work!
We need to take a page from their book fr
Catherine, you look *lovely* in Edwardian dress! I loved the dainty tea-drinking with "pinky finger out"!
You're the very epitome of a nice Edwardian lady!
Great video as always - keep up the good work!
⚘..this is awesome, Love-It
Cool vid! Ive been really interested in old etiquette recently! Ill definitely have to check out the book you referenced
Haha great video! The Edwardian Period is very interesting, definitely a lot to learn from the Edwardians!
Oh, and I saw on Instagram that it was your birthday yesterday. Happy belated birthday!
A joy! And it’s good to see Simon not just as Skelly.
Great video! Funny and illustrative! ❤
Edwardian era was really interesting, but eating with arms in that position reminds me of a T-Rex and must have been really uncomfortable! 😂
3:45 great hyacinths!👍 Seriously. Fantastic scent. (Also hallucinogenic. Seriously. Great dreams.)
@@CatherineWarr that or nutmeg. Yup. My ghastly gran's rice puddings were delicious, and always followed by interesting dreams. Eee, that wor before food chemistry wor a Thing.
Remeber to be curteous to those around you, no matter which gender you are, and everyone will have a more pleasant day. I believe that's the overall lesson of this book.
The one context in which I've heard "Georgian" used to describe the post-1910 period is: at the time, it was used to describe some of the non-modernist poets who were publishing work at the time, such as Rupert Brooke, Edmund Blunden and Walter de la Mare
King George V didn't last long until he abandoned ship. Can't blame him. Probably the wisest one of them all.
This is a very well done video. :)
They couldn't call the years after Eddie died the Georgian period, because there already was one of them.
Amusing.
Super video Cathrine,Most of the youth today would never think of helping a lady with a bicycle apart from stealing it from her.Looking forward to the book hopefully I get it here in Austria 👍
It seems we've inherited (in the English-speaking west) all of these manners Everything code of conduct dramatized here seems intuitive still (as an ideal).
Good video lass, thank you.(Just a small point, the letter H is I believe properly pronounced "aitch" not "haitch". One should not aspirate the letter)😊

Ah yes, speak respectfully to your women when you subjugate them. 😁
