Sentimental Journeys, Vehicular States
From eighteenth-century literature through twentieth-century cinema, the sentimental spectator is a figure in motion, able to assume multiple locations in narrative space. This capacity to move and be moved depends on a kind of quickness that in the discourse of the sentimental comes to be called “sensibility.” This chapter examines sentimental mobility by way of this notion of sensibility in its modern evolution, but also in the conceit that it …
Sentimental Monstrosity
This chapter examines the relation between sentimentalism and moral deformity. It first looks briefly at the emergence of the relation between beauty and deformity in the work of Shaftesbury and Adam Smith. The theme of moral monstrosity emerges explicitly in both writers, as it does in a different register with Rousseau. It then turns to what is made of this connection in the work of the Godwin circle, notably that of Mary and Percy Shelley, who…
The Emergence of Sentimental Probability
This chapter examines the problem of probability in sentimental narrative. It describes this problem as a crossing of the mimetic and pragmatic axes of representation in the context of a national readership. In less schematic terms, it means that probability arises as a problem when collective sentiment becomes the object of representation, in both senses of “object”—when writers aspire, that is, to move national sympathies in the act of depictin…

The previous chapters addressed “basic problems of stance and mode” in the “composition” of the sentimental mode across fiction, poetry, cinema, and theater. It recognizes that modern literary criticism has had to overcome a programmatic institutional animosity toward cinema, dating from the modernist moment, and that, more recently, film studies has had its own s…
Romanticism
This chapter analyzes the fate of the sentimental mode in the context of poetry. It suggests that many of the issues in Romantic poetry are similar those that have so far been considered, such as the characteristic features of mixed feelings, slippage of levels, and interchangeability of subject positions. It is just that these features tend to manifest differently in short works of verse.
