Examining both familiar and unfamiliar texts, including poetry, novels, journalism, and political writing, Carey shows that salve-owners and abolitionists alike made strategic use of the rhetoric of sensibility in the hope of influencing a reading public thoroughly immersed in the 'cult of feeling'.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBRYCCHAN CAREY is Senior Lecturer in English at Kingston University in London.
