An Essay on the Art of Ingeniously Tormenting
is the first English book on the craft of nagging. A bitingly funny
social satire, it is also an advice book, a handbook of anti-etiquette,
and a comedy of manners. Collier describes methods for 'teasing and
mortifying' one's intimates and acquaintances in a variety of social
situations by taking advantage of their affections and goodwill.
Written primarily for wives, mothers, and the mistresses of servants, The Art
suggests the difficulties women experienced exerting their influence in
private and public life - and the
ways they got round them. In anatomizing the art of emotional abuse
Collier piques readers into acknowledging their own faults, and
persuades them that tormenting is a useful skill, even as she censures
its effects.
The Art
provides a fascinating glimpse into eighteenth-century daily life, the
treatment of servants and dependants and the bringing up of children,
and is a thrilling precursor to the art of Jane Austen.
