Uneasy Sensations Smollett and the Body

"In her excellent study, Douglas pursues [the] life of sensation through Smollett's fiction, and by doing so describes his 'special contribution' to the development of the English novel....She sees how his peculiar realism includes what later novelists learn to exclude: all ordinary physical indignities, as well as occasional sensual delights....Her book shows Smollett's unflinching depiction of 'uneasy sensations' to be the very evidence of his humanity..."Douglas, Aileen is the author of 'Uneasy Sensations Smollett and the Body', published 1995 under ISBN 9780226160511 and ISBN 0226160513.
