She shows that these were arguments that thrived in the medium of eighteenth-century Britain's culture of politeness. In the debate about the balance between truthfulness and politeness, Davidson argues that eighteenth-century writers from Locke to Austen come down firmly on the side of politeness. This is the case even when it is associated with dissimulation or hypocrisy. These writers argue that the open profession of vice is far more dangerous for society than even the most glaring discrepancies between what people say in public and what they do in private. This book explores what happens when controversial arguments in favour of hypocrisy enter the mainstream, making it increasingly hard to tell the difference between hypocrisy and more obviously attractive qualities like modesty, self-control and tact.Hypocrisy & the Politics of PolitenessEnglish literature18th centuryHistory and criticismCourtesy in literatureLiterature and societyEnglandHistory18th centuryMoral conditions in literatureEtiquette in literatureHypocrisy in literatureEthics in literatureEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Courtesy in literature.Literature and societyHistoryMoral conditions in literature.Etiquette in literature.Hypocrisy in literature.Ethics in literature.820.9/353Davidson Jenny1844200UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910973305603321Hypocrisy and the politics of politeness4426483UNINA
