"Mrs. Albert Grundy, Observations in Philistia" by Harold Frederic offers a sharp and humorous social satire of English society and its rigid class differences. Through keen observation and witty prose, Frederic delivers a timeless social commentary on the values and pretensions of the era.

Exploring themes of societal expectations and conformity, the book examines the phenomenon of "Mrs. Grundy"-a personification of Victorian prudery and narrow-mindedness. With its blend of humor and insightful social commentary, this work provides a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, while its themes remain surprisingly relevant. This edition is a meticulously prepared republication of a historical text, offering readers a chance to rediscover a classic work of social satire. Perfect for readers interested in English society, social history, and the enduring power of humor in literature.

This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
