Description:
Around 1700 a new commercial society was emerging that thought of its values as the product of exchanges between citizens. A welter of publications-periodical essays, novels, and poetry-enjoined the virtues of conversation and were discussed in book clubs and literary societies, creating their own conversable worlds.
