| 520 | _a"The Blight of Respectability" by Geoffrey Mortimer is a critical examination of societal norms and conventions, written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the concept of respectability, particularly within the bourgeois class, chastising it as a superficial and often morally bankrupt standard that stifles individuality and progress. Mortimer articulates a disdain for those who adhere to these conventional norms, portraying them as obstacles to genuine moral and intellectual development. The opening of the book sets the stage for this argument, as Mortimer outlines his belief that the term "respectable" has been misappropriated and now signifies a lack of creativity and authenticity. He critiques the restrictive nature of respectability, suggesting that it leads individuals to conform to social expectations at the expense of their true selves. Mortimer uses historical and literary references to illustrate the detrimental effects of respectability on society and individuals alike, framing it as a disease that infects the mind and stifles cultural and moral evolution. His passionate tone critiques both men and women, especially focusing on how women, in particular, are shackled by these societal norms, which he argues destroy their true nature and freedom.
