| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (p. [315]-328) and index Conversation and its discontents -- Ancient conversation : from the Book of Job to Plato's Symposium -- Three factors affecting conversation : religion, commerce, women -- The age of conservation : Eighteenth-century Britain -- Samuel Johnson : a conversational triumph; Lady Mary Wortley Montagu : conversation lost -- Conversation in decline : from raillery to reverie -- Conversation in America : from Benjamin Franklin to Dale Carnegie -- Modern enemies of conversation : from countercultural theorists to "white Negroes" -- The ways we don't converse now -- The end of conversation? Essayist Stephen Miller pursues a lifelong interest in conversation by taking an historical and philosophical view of the subject. He chronicles the art of conversation in Western civilization from its beginnings in ancient Greece to its apex in eighteenth-century Britain to its current endangered state in America. As Harry G. Frankfurt brought wide attention to the art of verbiage in his recent bestselling "On Bullshit", so Miller now brings the art of conversation into the light, revealing why good conversation matters and why it is in decline. Miller explores the conversation about conversation among such great writers as Cicero, Montaigne, Swift, Defoe, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and Virginia Woolf. He focuses on the world of British coffeehouses and clubs in 'The Age of Conversation', and examines how this era ended. Turning his attention to the United States, the author traces a prolonged decline in the theory and practice of conversation from Benjamin Franklin through Hemingway to Dick Cheney. He cites our technology (iPods, cell phones, and video games) and our insistence on unguarded forthrightness as well as our fear of being judgemental as powerful forces that are likely to diminish the art of conversation |
