Johnson: Rasselas brief lecture notes


 Introduction to the Project C18 Background This hypertext offers a new approach towards understanding the language of eighteenth-century sensibility. It provides an atmospheric view of the multipleconnotations of the terms of that language. Rather than attempting strict definitions, this project offers a tool for recognizing the multivalence of such words as "virtue,""enthusiasm," and "community."
