This centenary edition features a new Introduction by Robert Shaughnessy that places Bradley's work in the critical, intellectual and cultural context of its time. Shaughnessy summarises the content and argumentative thrust of the book, outlines the critical debates and counter-arguments that have followed in the wake of its publication and, most importantly, prompts readers to engage with Bradley's work itself. Book jacket.
Midday Luncheons, Afternoon Parties, and Sunday Night
Modern entertaining favors simplicity, favoring practical meal options over elaborate multi-course dinners. For gatherings like luncheons or suppers, a streamlined menu featuring a hot dish, salad, biscuit or sandwich, dessert, and a beverage is recommended. Additional items such as a first course or relish can be included if desired, making hosting easier while still offering a satisfying dining experience.
