More about the book

Focusing on the intersection of literature and politics, the book explores how sentimental fiction of the late eighteenth century engaged with significant social issues, including slavery ethics, commercial morality, and prostitution reform. Markman Ellis argues that this genre served not only as a means of personal expression but also as a public platform for political discourse, highlighting the novel's role as a culturally significant political tool.
