In contrast, this collection reads for \u003ci\u003eimpoliteness\u003c\/i\u003e, revealing a more nuanced, granular, and dynamic view of eighteenth-century periodicals such as Addison and Steele’s popular \u003ci\u003eThe \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpectator\u003c\/i\u003e, and a fuller sense of their value within the societies that produced and consumed them. By inverting the traditional focus, this volume promotes a new history of the periodical characterized not as highbrow gatekeeper of literary taste, but as incongruent, idiosyncratic, and impolite. \u003ci\u003eImpolite Periodicals \u003c\/i\u003ethus brings together a range of perspectives on eighteenth-century periodical publication, not simply to argue that periodicals could be impolite, but to explore how readings of their potential impoliteness might affect our understanding of their literary and social significance. This collection relishes and lingers on signs of rudeness, inconsistency, impurity, and failure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With an afterword by Manushag N.
