5.0 out of 5 stars Chivalry, Gallantry & Poetry in a Relict Leisure Class, July 31, 2000

This review is from: Cords of Vanity (The Collected Works of James Branch Cabell - 46 Volumes) (Library Binding)

Robert Etheridge Townsend, a young writer, recounts his twelve amatory encounters on his path to a conventional life style. Within his tales, he left an account of the behaviors of members of a relict leisure class in which ancestry, snobbery and pride of place were kept alive by infusions of wealth acquired through marriages of convenience.
