Voice's Relational Mediations and the Art of Conversation.
- Authors
Wong, Amy R.
- Abstract
An essay is presented which explores the demotion of the concept of voice in conversations during the Victorian period. Topics discussed include the claims made by author Oscar Wilde regarding voice, gestures, and media, the intimacy associated with face-to-face interaction, and the way scholar J. P. Mahaffy addressed conversations in his 1887 book "The Principles of the Art of Conversation."
