| The Man of Feeling is unquestionably among the most important and influential works of eighteenth-century sentimental fiction. The novel follows Harley, the eponymous â man of feelingâ and impoverished aristocrat, as he travels from his rural estate to London and back in a reluctant quest for financial advancement and more heartfelt quest for kindred spirits. In addition to presenting a remarkable gallery of characters, Harleyâ s story gives a profound sense of the historical changes transforming the economy, landscape, and social relations of eighteenth-century England and Scotland. This Broadview editionâ s critical introduction and rich selection of appendices situate The Man of Feeling in the context of the periodâ s intellectual debates on sentiment, sympathy, and the novel. Contextual documents include contemporary reviews of the novel, selections from Mackenzieâ s correspondence and journalism, and related contemporary writings by David Hume, Adam Smith, Sir Walter Scott, and Laurence Sterne. |
