en-wikipedia-org-5188		Sentimental novel - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	1960	160	55	Sentimentalism, which is to be distinguished from sensibility, was a fashion in both poetry and prose fiction beginning in the eighteenth century in reaction to the rationalism of the Augustan Age. Sentimental novels relied on emotional response, both from their readers and characters. The domestic novel uses sentimentalism as a tool to convince readers of the importance of its message.[9] Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility is most often seen as a "witty satire of the sentimental novel",[10] by juxtaposing values of the Age of Enlightenment (sense, reason) with those of the later eighteenth century (sensibility, feeling) while exploring the larger realities of women's lives, especially through concerns with marriage and inheritance. Relation to the Gothic novel[edit] Gothic and sentimental novels are considered a form of popular fiction, reaching their height of popularity in the late 18th century.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5188.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5188.txt
