Introduction: From Passions to Language: The Transformation of the Imagination -- Locke: Metaphorical Romances -- Behn: Romance from the Stage to the Letter -- Shaftesbury: Conversation and the Psychology of Romance -- Hume: Reading Romances, Writing the Self -- Richardson: How to Read Romance.

In this lively and original book, eighteenth-century philosophy is called to account for what it owes to the early novel. Through the figure of the romance reader, the author tells a new story of eighteenth-century reading. The impressionable mind and mutable identity of the romance reader haunt the background of eighteenth-century definitions of the self, and the seductions of fiction insist on making their appearance in philosophy. Through discussions of Locke, Behn, Shaftesbury, Hume, and Richardson, this book traces the idea of romance as, in the process of engendering resistance, it comes nonetheless to define the empiricist mind as the reading mind.
