On the contrary, the discourse of common sense is shaped by a defensive impulse against the totalizing intellectual regimes of the Enlightenment and the cultural climate of change they promote, in order to contain the unbounded discursive proliferation of modern learning. Hence, common sense discourse has a vital regulatory function in cultural negotiations of political and intellectual change in eighteenth-century Britain against the backdrop of patriotic national self-concepts. This study discusses early eighteenth-century common sense in four broad complexes, as to its discursive functions that are ethical (which at that time implies aesthetic as well), transgressive (as a corrective), political (in patriotic constructs of the nation), and repressive (of otherness). The selection of texts in this study strikes a balance between dominant literary culture - Swift, Pope, Defoe, Fielding, Johnson - and the periphery, such as pamphlets and magazine essays, satiric poems and patriotic songs. 410 0$aBuchreihe der Anglia ;$vVolume 46. 606 $aLiterature and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aCommon sense in literature 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCommon sense$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xIntellectual life$y18th century 610 $aCommon sense. 610 $aEnglish literature. 610 $aeighteenth-century culture. 610 $aeighteenth-century literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aCommon sense in literature. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCommon sense$xSocial aspects 676 $a820.9/355 700 $aHenke$b Christoph$01119518 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788565503321 996 $aCommon sense in early 18th-century British literature and culture$93673948 997 $aUNINA
