Changing Sentiments and the Magdalen Hospital

Luxury, Virtue and the Senses in Eighteenth-Century Culture

Sentimentalism became popular in the eighteenth century, part of the philosophical idea that truth is founded on emotion or moral sentiment. Peace uses the London Magdalen Hospital for Penitent Prostitutes as a prism through which to explore the sentimental writing of this period.
