Description

How did eighteenth-century literature confront sentimentalism? By examining novels, periodicals, and literary miscellanies, Framing Feeling demonstrates that writers and publishers muted sentimental ideals. This book analyzes fictional conventions that authorize conservative notions of gender, aesthetics, and politics even in works considered revolutionary.
