The sentimental novel has long been noted for its liberal and
humanitarian interests, but also for its predilection for refined
feeling, the privilege it accords emotion over reason, and its
preference for the private over the public sphere. In The Politics
of Sensibility, however, Markman Ellis argues that sentimental
fiction also consciously participated in some of the most keenly
contested public controversies of the late eighteenth century,
including the emergence of anti-slavery opinion, discourse on the
morality of commerce, and the movement for the reformation of
prostitutes. By investigating the significance of political
material in the fictional text, and by exploring the ways in which
the novels themselves take part in historical disputes, Ellis shows
that the sentimental novel was a political tool of considerable
cultural significance.
