This book explores the everyday life of the Russian capital's nobility in the early 19th century, a unique set of customs and unspoken codes accepted by society, as well as emotions, some of which were appropriate to display and others to be suppressed. The book, whose protagonists lived in an era later called the Golden Age of Russian culture, is replete with examples from biographies, memoirs, letters, and fiction, and serves as an accessible introduction to the everyday life of the Russian nobility. How 19th-century aristocrats interacted with each other—spouses, relatives, friends, superiors, and subordinates; what table settings were like; how they conducted themselves during times of joy and sorrow; and what etiquette norms they considered essential to teach their children—all of this can be learned from historian Alina Shokareva's work.
