Abstract

This book examines the concern with narrativity and self-construction in Defoe's first-person fictional narratives. Arguing that recent materialist approaches to Defoe are insufficiently attentive to the dominant preoccupations of his fictional oeuvre, which center on issues of moral accountability and self-definition, it addresses the need to examine more sharply Defoe's novelistic achievement in the realm of character and narration and those aesthetic and ethical experiments that constitute his innovative achievements in the novel form.

Abstract

As scholarly interest has turned to emotion and affect, Reflections on Sentiment offers examples of Enlightenment feeling both challenging and promoting the period's touted reason and realism. Essays explore the complex relation of thought and sentiment in discourses from moral treatises and religious debates to interrogations of gender and family relations, from fictional tests of boundaries between human and non-human species to innovations in the forms of poetry, the novel, and the literary marketplace itself.
