Summary:

This volume explores a pivotal period in European history, the 'long' nineteenth century. The central innovation of this volume consists in its use of a wide range of politeness metasources -- grammar books, schoolbooks, conduct books, etiquette books, and letter-writing manuals -- to access social norms.
