摘要:This article articulates some arguments concerning the function of historiographical and novelistic narratives in the eighteenth century. It suggests that they shared some key elements – namely a pedagogical-civilizing purpose and a set of common rhetorical devices – that shaped what could be called “philosophical narrative”. Following this assumption, the “British Enlightenment” – understood as a literary, political and social program and a matrix for the production and circulation of historiographical, essayistic and novelistic texts in the 1700s – is used as a basis for examining the eighteenth century literary context and contemporary authors such as David Hume and Henry Fielding.
