The Politics of Sensibility: Race, Gender and Commerce in the Sentimental Novel - Cambridge Studies in Romanticism
Ellis, Markman (Queen Mary University of London)
Markman Ellis contests the enduring view that the sentimental novel is concerned only with displays of refined feeling. He analyses such fiction's engagement in public controversies of the late eighteenth century: emerging anti-slavery opinion, discourse on the morality of commerce, and the movement to reform prostitution.
