Aiming to explore the importance of emotions in eighteenth-century
England, the seminar addresses a wide array of questions related to the
relationship between feelings and politics, the bourgeois novel of
sentiment, the new cult of sensibility epitomised by the Man of Feeling,
moral philosophy, economics, gender relations and aesthetic experience.
Special attention will be paid to the process of negotiating public and
private emotions with a view to highlighting forms of feeling that have
been deemed responsible for the emergence of a politics of sensibility
upheld not only by various groups and class identities but also by
rhetorical and stylistic strategies meant to represent sensibility as
both forma mentis and modus operandi.
