Abstract:

This volume traces the multifaceted concept of manners in the history of
English from the late medieval through the early and late modern periods right
up to the present day. It focuses in particular on transgressions of manners
and norms of behaviour as an analytical tool to shed light on the discourse of
polite conduct and styles of writing. The papers collected in this volume
adopt both literary and linguistic perspectives. The fictional sources range
from medieval romances and Shakespearean plays to eighteenth-century drama,
Lewis Carroll’s Alice books and present-day television comedy drama. The
non-fictional data includes conduct books, medical debates and petitions
written by lower class women in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The
contributions focus in particular on the following questions: What are the
social and political ideologies behind rules of etiquette and norms of
interaction, and what can we learn from blunders and other transgressions?
