Publisher's Synopsis
The Epics of the Ton or The Glories of the Great World: A Poem in Two Books is a literary work by Lady Anne Hamilton, published in 1807. The book is a poetic exploration of the high society of London during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, known as the ""Ton."" Lady Anne Hamilton, herself a member of the Ton, offers a satirical and critical portrayal of the social customs and values of this elite class, including their obsession with fashion, gossip, and social status. The poem is divided into two books, with the first focusing on the Ton's social rituals and the second on their romantic intrigues. Lady Anne Hamilton's writing style is characterized by her use of wit, irony, and humor to expose the follies and excesses of the Ton. The Epics of the Ton is considered an important work of social commentary and a valuable historical document of the period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
