Description

In cities from Boston to Charleston, elite men and women of eighteenth-century British America came together in private venues to script a polite culture. By examining their various 'texts'--conversations, letters, newspapers, and privately circulated manuscripts--David Shields reconstructs the discourse of civility that flourished in and further shaped elite society in British America.

Author Biography:

David S. Shields is the McClintock Professor of Southern Letters in the Departments of English and History at the University of South Carolina, editor of the journal Early American Literature, and director of the Southern Texts Society.
