Recenzii

Reviews for the original edition:
‘This book is a mine of information about the literature of Sensibility in the eighteenth century as well as a readable, witty and lucid discussion of its political, social and literary complexities. Janet Todd has written an excellent introduction to the subject for students, but she has also succeeded in making this introduction interesting in its own right…. I read it with unfailing interest and pleasure.’
Angela Leighton, Department of English, University of Hull 
‘Concise, witty and consistently readable. There is no better brief account of Sensibility, an odd, amorphous but profoundly important movement of ideas. Janet Todd keeps both its intellectual implications and its artistic achievements intelligently in view.’
Marilyn Butler, St Hugh’s College, Oxford
