""Keeping Up Appearances"" is a satirical novel by Maximilian Foster, first published in 1914. The book tells the story of the wealthy and aristocratic Carleton family, who are obsessed with maintaining their social status and reputation. The family's matriarch, Lady Carleton, is particularly concerned with appearances and is determined to marry off her daughter, Rose, to a suitable nobleman. However, Rose has her own ideas and falls in love with a commoner, causing a scandal that threatens to ruin the family's reputation. The novel explores themes of class, social climbing, and the pressure to conform to societal norms. Foster uses humor and wit to poke fun at the absurdity of the Carletons' obsession with appearances, while also highlighting the hypocrisy and corruption of the upper classes. Overall, ""Keeping Up Appearances"" is a witty and entertaining critique of the British aristocracy and their obsession with maintaining their social status. It remains a classic of satirical literature and a must-read for anyone interested in the social and cultural history of early 20th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
