| 520 | _a"Americans and Others" by Agnes Repplier is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The work delves into various aspects of American culture, manners, and societal dynamics, offering a critical yet insightful perspective on American life during this period. Through her essays, Repplier examines contemporary social attitudes, the influences of wealth, and the ongoing evolution of civility and politeness in the United States. The opening of the book introduces the theme of American manners, addressing the widespread belief that Americans lack politeness in comparison to their historical counterparts. Repplier engages with critiques of modern society, pondering whether the essence of youth and communal behavior has fundamentally changed since the Civil War. She contrasts the social norms of her time with romanticized views of the past, reflecting on the complexities of civility amidst the rapidly changing American landscape. Throughout this initial section, she raises questions about the nature of politeness, drawing historical parallels while challenging the views of noted critics on the subject.
