Book Overview

""The Idle Born: A Comedy of Manners"" is a novel written by H. C. Chatfield-Taylor. The story revolves around the lives and relationships of wealthy socialites in turn-of-the-century America. The protagonist, Richard Kent, is a member of the ""idle born"" - a group of wealthy, privileged young men who spend their days indulging in leisurely pursuits and socializing with their peers. However, when Richard falls in love with the beautiful and intelligent Isabel Rivers, he is forced to confront the reality of his shallow existence and make some difficult choices about his future. Along the way, the novel explores themes of class, gender, and the changing social landscape of America in the early 20th century. With its witty dialogue and satirical tone, ""The Idle Born"" is a classic comedy of manners that offers a humorous and insightful commentary on the foibles of high society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
