Scepticism and Literature - Parker, Fred (, Fellow of Clare College in the University of Cambridge.)

In this study of the role of scepticism in literature, Fred Parker offers an introduction to key issues in 18th-century literature and philosophy. He traces the presence of sceptical thinking in works by Pope, Hume, Sterne, and Johnson, relating it more broadly to the social self-consciousness of 18th-century culture, and more.
