'a book I prize next to the Bible' Robert Burns Mackenzie's hugely
popular novel of 1771 is the foremost work of the sentimental
movement, in which sentiment and sensibility were allied with true
virtue, and sensitivity is the mark of the man of feeling. The
hero, Harley, is followed in a series of episodes demonstrating his
benevolence in an uncaring world: he assists the down-trodden,
loses his love, and fails to achieve worldly success. The novel
asks a series of vital questions: what morality is possible in a
complex commercial world? Does trying to maintain it make you a
saint or a fool? Is sentiment merely a luxury for the leisured
classes? This edition reprints Brian Vickers's authoritative text,
with a new introduction that discusses the novel in the context of
the Scottish Enlightenment and European sentimentalism. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,
helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for
further study, and much more.
