Ridicule as a Tool for Discovering Truth
This chapter explores eighteenth-century discussion of the nature, power, import, and uses of ridicule. While many assented to the role of ridicule in flagging defects of character and social or moral practice, the use of ridicule in relation to the establishment of truth was more controversial. The proposition that ridicule could serve as a ‘test of truth’ arose at the beginning of the century in comments by the 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury about ‘en…
Kissing for Virtuosi
The intellectual career of William Stukeley (1687–1765) has received much attention. However, one manuscript by Stukeley has never been discussed. In 1757 he composed a short treatise, ‘On the Philosophy of Pleasure’, in which he argued an unusual case, namely, that a man and woman ought to feel entitled to consummate their philosophic friendship with kissing. The manuscript illuminates an interesting episode in Stukeley’s private life, but it al…
Hierarchy and the Techniques of the Mediator
While social relations constitute a domain in which social groups fortify their solidarities and distinguish themselves from other groups, they also constitute a domain in which social differences can be mediated and collaboration effected. This article explores how such mediation and collaboration worked, using the instance of a retired Quaker shopkeeper in Bath who, notwithstanding modest resources, was able to become a significant social and c…
Soliloquy, or advice to an author
I have often thought how ill-natured a maxim it was, which, on many occasions, I have heard from people of good understanding, that, ‘as to what related to private conduct, no one was ever the better for advice’. But, upon further examination, I have resolved with myself that the maxim might be admitted without any violent prejudice to mankind. For, in the manner advice was generally given, there was no reason, I thought, to wonder it should be s…
Sociability, Politeness, and Aristocratic Self-Formation in the Life and Career of the Second Earl of Shelburne
The second earl of Shelburne is well known for his association with reform initiatives in the second half of the eighteenth century. However, he also put conspicuous effort into strengthening his aristocratic credentials and status. One noteworthy feature of this was his politeness: he aimed at personal cultivation, a goal in itself and a foundation for leadership in society; he also had a reputation for politeness in everyday social situations. …
Addisonian Afterlives
Eighteenth‐century commentators often used the Bible and sacred inspiration as a tool for measuring the significance of Joseph Addison and his writings. The quasi‐scriptural character of Addison's writings was more than a matter of their popularity; it was an effect of Addison's role in the culture. Aside from being a widely read author and respected normative guide, Addison was taken as a model of social being. The esteem for his writings shaded…

A Foot in the Past
To call this ambitious book a study of the shoe industry is an injustice, since Giorgio Riello insists on the ways in which the making of shoes was folded into a diverse and extended set of contexts. Riello takes advantage of recent scholarly and interpretative initiatives on several fronts, using the tools of the historian of industry in co-ordination with those of the historian of consumption and the historian of fashion to produce an innovativ…

Politeness and the Interpretation of the British Eighteenth Century
Politeness has assumed an important place in recent interpretations of eighteenth-century Britain by historians and historically minded scholars in other fields. The use of politeness as an analytic category has relied on varying assessments of the eighteenth-century semantic associations of the term, which included attentiveness to form, sociability, improvement, worldliness, and gentility. Scholars have used politeness in one or more of these s…
Enthusiasm and Enlightenment in Europe, 1650-1850
These essays on the shifting content and value attached to 'enthusiasm' treat a particular historical question and at the same time pose a general challenge to our methodological expectations. The contributors (Peter Fenves, Jan Goldstein, Lawrence E. Klein, Jon Mee, J.G.A. Pocock, Mary D. Sheriff, and Anthony J. La Vopa) study the discourses of religion, psychology, aesthetics, politics, and philosophy in which 'enthusiasm' figured as a key term…
Characteristics of Men, Manners, Opinions, Times
Shaftesbury's Characteristics of Men, Manners, Opinions, Times was first published in 1711. It ranges widely over ethics, aesthetics, religion, the arts (painting, literature, architecture, gardening), and ancient and modern history, and aims at nothing less than a new ideal of the gentleman. Together with Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Addison and Steele's Spectator, it is a text of fundamental importance for understanding the …
Sociability, Solitude, and Enthusiasm
Ri . ichard Baxter, the distinguished and long-lived Nonconformist divine, was hostile to the Protestant sects that multiplied in England in the unregulated religious climate of the 1640s and 1650s. While some were tolerable, others were not: Many of them (the Behmenists, FifthMonarchy men, Quakers, and some Anabaptists) are proper Fanatics, looking too much to revelations within, instead of the Holy Scriptures.' According to Baxter, the fanatic …

Shaftesbury and the Culture of Politeness
The third Earl of Shaftesbury was a pivotal figure in eighteenth-century thought and culture. Professor Klein's study is the first to examine the extensive Shaftesbury manuscripts and offer an interpretation of his diverse writings as an attempt to comprehend contemporary society and politics and, in particular, to offer a legitimation for the new Whig political order established after 1688. As the focus of Shaftesbury's thinking was the idea of …

Liberty, Manners, and Politeness in Early Eighteenth-Century England
In the early eighteenth century, the language of politeness became a major fixture of English discourse. Centring on the term ‘politeness’ and consisting of a vocabulary of key words (such as ‘refinement’, ‘manners’, ‘character’, ‘breeding’, and ‘civility’) and a range of qualifying attributes (‘free’, ‘easy’, ‘natural’, ‘graceful’, and many others), the language was used to make a wide range of objects intelligible. Though the word ‘polite’ had …

It became a key word, a point of verbal intersection among different areas of human experience, providing a unifying rubric for greatly diverse activities. It grew to range over a new and wide s…
