Decency literature is a collective term for works that deal with social manners such as B. etiquette , netiquette .

Nowadays these are mainly informative sources of social history that provide information about the lifestyles, conventions , norms and regulations of a certain time.

The well-known book by Adolph Freiherr Knigge : About dealing with people (1788) was not actually intended as a primer on decency, but deals with general human issues. This is evidenced by some of the 27 chapter headings: About dealing with oneself , dealing with married people , dealing with friends , dealing with scholars and artists , dealing with writers and readers , etc. But after the book has already become known Was very successful during his lifetime, after his death it was revised by various editors as "modern etiquette" until the book or its author finally became a synonym for etiquette.
