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.
