Among the most frequently reprinted books of the long eighteenth
century, English, Scottish and American letter manuals spread norms
of polite conduct and communication, which helped to connect and
unify different regions of the British Atlantic world, even as they
fostered and helped to create very different local and regional
cultures and values. By teaching secret writing, they also enabled
transatlantic correspondents to communicate what they needed
despite interception, censorship and the practice of reading
private letters in company. Eve Tavor Bannet uncovers what people
knew then about letters that we have forgotten, and revolutionises
our understanding of eighteenth-century letters, novels,
periodicals, and other kinds of writing in manuscript and print
which used the letter form. This lively, interdisciplinary book
will change the way we read and interpret eighteenth-century
letters and think about the book in the Atlantic world.
