Description
The intersection in major works of the eighteenth century between courtesy and sense are described in this book. The representation of conversational courtesy, which allowed an improvement of opinion -- described as "common sense" by that age -- is analyzed in works by Berkeley, Pope, Sterne, Johnson, and Boswell, showing in each case how a demanding subject matter was submitted to an insouciant social scrutiny and thus made more fully and more widely understood.
