In a series of closely-examined and detailed case studies, it explores how individuals, both fictional and in real life, negotiated cross-cultural encounter through sociable and conversational practices, in locations for sociability like the coffee-house, assembly-room, and theatre, but also in less familiar venues like the waltz, the spa-town, and the letter.' - Markman Ellis, Professor of Eighteenth-Century Studies, Queen Mary University of London, UK. This volume covers a broad range of everyday private and public, touristic, commercial and fictional encounters between Britons and continental Europeans, in a variety of situations and places: moments that led to a meaningful exchange of opinions, practices, or concepts such as friendship or politeness. It argues that, taken together, travel accounts, commercial advice, letters, novels and philosophical works of the long eighteenth century, reveal the growing impact of British sociability on the sociable practices on the continent, and correspondingly, the convivial turn of the Enlightenment. In particular, the essays collected here discuss the ways and means ? in conversations, through travel guides or literary works ? by which readers and writers grappled with their cultural differences in the field of sociability. The first part deals with travellers, the second section with the spreading of various cultural practices, and the third with fictional encounters in philosophical dialogues and novels. 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x18th century 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aIntellectual life$xHistory 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x19th century 606 $aEighteenth-Century Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aIntellectual History 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x18th century. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aIntellectual life$xHistory. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x19th century. 615 14$aEighteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aIntellectual History. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 676 $a190.9033 676 $a941.07 702 $aDomsch$b Sebastian 702 $aHansen$b Mascha 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483832703321 996 $aBritish sociability in the European enlightenment$92845717 997 $aUNINA
