Jenny Davidson considers the arguments that define hypocrisy as a moral and political virtue in its own right. She shows that these were arguments that thrived in eighteenth-century Britain's culture of politeness. Davidson examines the attitude of such writers as Locke and Austen towards hypocrisy.
