Focusing on how ideas of civility were communicated, understood and gained widespread acceptance in the British world in the long eighteenth century, this collection examines the critical role judgments about noise and sound played in framing its meaning in British discourse and literature during the period. Taken together, the essays identify the emergence of civility as a development that radically altered sonic attitudes and experiences, producing new notions of what counted as desirable or undesirable sound.
