""The Decline of the Gentleman"" by Simon Raven is a non-fiction book that explores the changing attitudes towards traditional gentlemanly behavior in modern society. The author argues that the concept of the gentleman, which was once seen as a pillar of society, has been eroded over time due to various social, economic, and cultural factors. Raven examines the historical and cultural roots of the idea of the gentleman, and how it has evolved over time. He also discusses the impact of modern technology, social media, and changing gender roles on the concept of the gentleman. The book is a thought-provoking analysis of the changing nature of masculinity and social norms, and offers insights into how society can adapt to these changes. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of masculinity and the changing face of society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
