He chronicles the art of conversation in Western civilization from its beginnings in ancient Greece to its apex in eighteenth-century Britain to its current endangered state in America. As Harry G. Frankfurt brought wide attention to the art of bullshit in his recent bestselling \"On Bullshit,\" so Miller now brings the art of conversation into the light, revealing why good conversation matters and why it is in decline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephen Miller\u003c\/b\u003e is a freelance writer and a contributing editor to \u003ci\u003eThe Wilson Quarterly. \u003c\/i\u003eHis essays on leading eighteenth-century writers have appeared in many magazines, including the \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ePartisan Review, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSewanee Review.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.93 x 8.18 x 5.54 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42115114893392,"sku":"9780300123654","price":86.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/NE1sRjZHVDljNXBqbU0zV0RQS2U5QT09.webp?v=1772761894","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/conversation-a-history-of-a-declining-art-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
