Book Reviews of The Man of Feeling (The Norton Library)
Book Review: A gem from another worldview
Summary: 5 Stars
This novel provides so many of the pleasures of reading a book from another era and another sensibility. Within 115 pages there are no fewer than 49 separate episodes of weeping, where exchanging tears produces further exchanges, usually monetary -- as with the narrative of the mad woman in Bedlam, whose story moves Harley so much that he leaves a large sum of money with the keeper of the madhouse. Do not read this expecting a modern novel; but do read it -- and read it not only expecting pleasure, but also expecting to be taught more about the late eighteenth century psychology than you've ever been taught before.
Summary of The Man of Feeling (The Norton Library)
Mackenzie's first novel immediately became famous as one of the best of the late 18th-century sentimental novels. Scott praised it, and to Burns it was "a book I prize next to the Bible".Scottish Books
