Krátký popis
This book, the first comprehensive study of criminal speech in
eighteenth-century New England, traces how the criminalization,
prosecution, and punishment of speech offenses in Massachusetts
helped to establish and legitimate a social and cultural regime of
politeness. Analyzing provincial statutes and hundreds of criminal
prosecutions, Kristin A. Olbertson argues that colonists
transformed their understanding of speech offenses, from
fundamentally ungodly to primarily impolite. As white male
gentility emerged as the pre-eminent model of authority, records of
criminal prosecution and punishment show a distinct cadre of
politely pious men defining themselves largely in contrast to the
vulgar, the impious, and the unmanly. “Law,†as manifested in
statutes as well as in local courts and communities, promoted and
legitimized a particular, polite vision of the king''s peace and
helped effectuate the British Empire. In this unique and
fascinating work, Olbertson reveals how ordinary people interacted
with and shaped legal institutions.
