Detailed explanation-1: -In England, Samuel Richardson’s sentimental novel Pamela (1740) was recommended by clergymen as a means of educating the heart. In the 1760s the sentimental novel developed into the “novel of sensibility, ” which presented characters possessing a pronounced susceptibility to delicate sensation.
Detailed explanation-2: -A sentimental novel, or a novel of sensibility is a literary genre, popular in the 18th century, that is defined by its focus on concepts of sentiment and sensibility.
