The arrangement of a table in terms of cutlery, arrangement, serving style, and timing of courses has changed a great deal over time and now is enjoying renewed interest. The History of the Art of Tablesetting was written by a true expert in the field, Claudia Quigley Murphy, who enjoyed a career as a journalist, writing for papers in Ohio and Michigan. She served as a consultant in all matters of etiquette and entertaining to a number of major companies. This work is an authoritative and original account of table setting by an expert with a penchant for getting things right.
