The Theory of the Leisure Class (Modern Library Classics)
Thorstein Veblen, Alan Wolfe
My Lady Scandalous: The Amazing Life and Outrageous Times of Grace Dalrymple Elliott, Royal Courtesan - Jo Manning Well-documented, but the book is too busy with arch asides and page long digressions to get to the real historical background. This would be a good book for someone curious about the time period but not all that knowledgable--for anyone who's familiar with the eighteenth century already, its not that useful.
