Although the 1707 Act of Union officially joined. England and Scotland, government policy alone could not overcome, centuries of feuding and ill-will between these nations. Accordingly, the literary public sphere became a vital arena for the development and promotion of a new national identity Britishness Feeling British starts by examining the political implications of the Scottish Enlightenments theorizations of sympathy the mechanism by which emotions are shared between people From these philosophical beginnings this study tracks how sympathetic discourse is deployed by a variety of authors including Defoe, Smollett, Johnson Wordsworth and Scott -- invested in constructing but also in questioning an inclusive sense of what it means to be British.
