Where do the norms of polite behaviour actually come from? And why do they matter anyway? Based on his book Sorry! Henry Hutchings (theatre critic of the Evening Standard) presents an amusing, illuminating and quirky audit of English manners. From basic table manners to appropriate sexual conduct, via hospitality, chivalry, faux pas and online etiquette, he traces the history of our country's customs and courtesies. Drawing on the astute observations of the likes of Jane Austen and Samuel Pepys, Hutchings brings his wit, knowledge and intelligence to bear in a hugely entertaining review of changing patterns and conventions.

Politeness is key to all of our relationships and plays a fundamental part in the way we communicate with each other and the way we define ourselves. It is not limited only to conventional aspects of linguistic etiquette, but encompasses all types of interpersonal behaviour through which we explore and maintain our relationships. This groundbreaking exploration navigates the reader through this fascinating area and introduces them to a variety of new insights. The book is divided into three parts and is based on an innovative framework which relies on the concepts of social practice, time and space. In this multidisciplinary approach, the authors capture a range of user and observer understandings and provide a variety of examples from different languages and cultures. With its reader-friendly style, carefully constructed exercises and useful glossary, Understanding Politeness will be welcomed by both researchers and postgraduate students working on politeness, pragmatics and sociolinguistics more broadly.

La 4e de couverture indique : "Les Lumières n'ont pas inventé la civilité ni la politesse, mais elles leur ont donné une portée morale et philosophique radicalement nouvelle. En célébrant la civilité, elles expriment une confiance nouvelle dans la nature humaine. Mais ces promesses recouvrent une sourde inquiétude : les formes les plus raffinées de la civilité peuvent aussi dissimuler le mensonge et favoriser la domination. Au XVIIIe siècle, c'est la France qui incarne avec éclat cette figure ambivalente d'une civilité brillante mais pour certains hypocrite, voire immorale, que l'on appelle la politesse. Montesquieu, Voltaire, Hume, Rousseau, Kant, Madame de Staël : tous voient dans la politesse française la fine fleur de la civilité moderne, s'interrogent sur la valeur de ce qu'on commence alors à appeler civilisation. C'est cette "conversation" que Philippe Raynaud restitue dans toute sa richesse. Il rappelle l'affinité native des manières françaises avec la monarchie absolue, que tout oppose à la simplicité des moeurs de la libre Angleterre. Il retrace la longue complicité, à la ville comme à la Cour, entre la civilité et le "règne des femmes". Il rend sensible la relation intime des lois, des moeurs et des manières. Le temps des salons est passé et ne reviendra pas, mais les questions politiques et morales qu'il avait mises à jour demeurent encore les nôtres."
