Meeting and Greeting in (im)Polite Society Keynote by Professor Penelope Corfield: ‘Female Salutations in Britain in the Long Eighteenth Century: Deep Curtseying, Bobbing, Kissing … and Shaking Hands’.
Keynote Abstract: Greetings are dynamic. They can be given politely or rudely. They also change significantly over time. So women, when giving or receiving salutations, have to stay alert and make choices – as Penelope Corfield explains in her keynote lecture, focusing upon Britain in the long eighteenth century.
