A sharp, wry glance at the games and guises of leisure that shaped a nation. The Decline And Fall Of Whist is a skilful, antique mirror for today's parlour and screen-where manners, memory, and mood swirl around every card drawn and rule observed. This restored edition makes visible John Petch Hewby's sparkling blend of satirical essay and social critique, moving from brisk observations of card game culture to broader meditations on old and new leisure, societal etiquette norms, and the quiet revolutions of Victorian britain. It guides classic literature readers and academic research readers alike through a London cultural milieu that echoes Thackeray and domestic satire traditions, while remaining accessible to curious readers seeking a humane, human-scale portrait of a bygone etiquette-and-entertainment world. A compact treasure for casual readers and collectors, this edition isn't merely a reprint but a cultural treasure, revived for today's and future generations. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it preserves the wit and social texture that make early modern Britain feel near and real. The book stands as a reference point for those studying Victorian critique, card game culture, and the evolving grasp of manners in a changing society, inviting thoughtful reflection on how old ways inform our own. Keywords flow naturally through the narrative, linking satire, domestic life, and the broader tapestry of Victorian britain without slipping into dated trivia.
