Reflections on Sentiment not only addresses current scholarly
interest in feeling and affect but also provides an occasion to
celebrate the career of George Starr, who, in more than fifty years
of incisive scholarship and committed teaching, haselucidated the
work of Daniel Defoe and the role of sentimentalism in what was
once reductively termed an age of reason and realism. Due to the
critique Starr spearheaded, scholars today can approach with
greater assurance the complex interplay of reason and emotion,
thought and sensibility, science and feeling, rationality and
enthusiasm, judgment and wit, as well as forethought and instinct,
as these shaped the scientific, religious, political, social,
literary, and cultural revolutions of the Enlightenment. Indeed,
contributors to this anthology take inspiration from Starr's work
to shed new light on Enlightenment thought and sociocultural
formations generally, offering fresh interpretations of a period in
which Reflection and Sentiment circulated, mutually influenced each
other, and contended equally for cultural attention. In nine
separate essays they explore: the ways sentiment and sentimentalism
inflect the moral and ideological ambit of Enlightenment
discourses; the sociopolitics of religious debate; the issues
promoted by women writers, by gender and family relations; the
artistic and rhetorical uses of lived language; the impacts of
cultural developments on novelistic form; and the wide shifts in
the literary marketplace. Deploying tools advanced by new work in
animal studies, gender criticism, media analysis, genre studies,
the new formalism, and ethical inquiry, and enabled by the power of
digitization and new databases, the authors of this volume explain
how and to what ends denizens of the Enlightenment were touched and
moved.
