1911 Eliza Getting On is a classic British comedy of manners that pokes fun at the social ladder-climbing of suburban London life in 1911. The story is told by Eliza’s husband, a pompous, self-important clerk who is obsessed with appearing wealthy, proper, and sophisticated. He constantly tries to advance his social status, only to cause hilarious domestic disasters. Ultimately, the humor comes from the fact that he thinks he is the master of the house, while his sharp, down-to-earth wife, Eliza, is the one who quietly fixes all his blunders and keeps their lives on track. wear and foxing as seen, pages cracked but intact in the book
