As a rhetoric of the mean (mesotes ideal), sensibility provides a
positive catalog of emotionalization. This is because ethos as an
emotional level is viewed as being able, through gentle emotions,
to please, placate and achieve sympathy and virtue (Quintilian).
Sensibility in literature creates a bridge between an art of the
soul that developed into a major subjective and personal factor in
the 18th century and a sense of sociability that aimed to integrate
the individual into the community. The goal of this study is to
provide, through a structural linking of the ethos of virtue and
the rhetoric of the mean, a reading of literature of sensibility
based on rhetoric and cultural history that can explain both its
public success with the people and the reasons for why it failed to
meet its own claims."
