Exploring the concept of "civility" in early modern England, this work delves into how societal hierarchies influenced perceptions of what it meant to be civilized versus barbarous. The upper classes distinguished themselves through specific behaviors, while common people developed their own notions of civility. The English belief in their superior civility impacted their relations with various groups, including the Welsh, Scots, and indigenous peoples across the globe. The narrative also addresses the roots of anticolonialism and cultural relativism, enriched with contemporary anecdotes and insights.
