Men of Feeling in Eighteenth-Century Literature (eBook, PDF)

Touching Fiction

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Analysing texts by Sterne, Smollett, Brooke, and Mackenzie, this book offers a new perspective on a question that literary criticism has struggled with for years: why are many sentimental novels of the 1700s so pervasively and playfully self-conscious, and why is this self-consciousness so often directed toward the materiality of the printed word?
