Mannerism \Man"ner*ism\, n. [Cf. F. mani['e]risme.]
Adherence to a peculiar style or manner; a characteristic
mode of action, bearing, or treatment, carried to excess,
especially in literature or art.
Mannerism is pardonable,and is sometimes even
agreeable, when the manner, though vicious, is natural
. . . . But a mannerism which does not sit easy on the
mannerist, which has been adopted on principle, and
which can be sustained only by constant effort, is
always offensive. --Macaulay.
