As a literary genre, the sentimental novel reached the height of
its vogue in the 1770s and 1780s and was still popular as the
eighteenth century drew to a close. This volume presents a
comprehensive exploration of the sentimental novel in the
eighteenth century, beginning with its origins in the so-called
amatory fiction of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth
centuries. Chapters from leading scholars combine the various
aspects and contexts of the genre, from politics, slavery, women
writers, and the Gothic to the sentimental novel in America, France
and Germany, with historically informed close readings of novels by
writers including Samuel Richardson (1689-1761), Laurence Sterne
(1713-68) and Jane Austen (1775-1817). This volume demonstrates
that the sentimental novel continues to engage readers and critics
and that, far from being obsolete or only of antiquary interest, it
remains a vibrant and exciting area of study.
