Summary
A light-hearted, intimate but informative history of dating, from Jane Austen to Tinder
Description
A book for anyone who's ever dated or been wooed, successfully or otherwise - the young and lovestruck, the single and lovelorn, the older and love-worn, the simply curious and a beautiful hardback, to boot, for the amorous gift-giver.
A brief and very readable but nevertheless informative history of dating that covers pretty much everything from the rules of Regency courtship - including the surprisingly early advent of personal ads, not touched on by Jane Austen - to swiping right.Critic Reviews
