Rothstein (emeritus, English, U. of Wisconsin) proposes literature as an agent of change in the modernization processes of 18th century British culture. Conducting readings of Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Richardson's Clarissa, Fielding's Tom Jones, Cleland's Fanny Hill, and the later poems of Alexander Pope, he argues that popular works of literature contained a means by which readers could, most often subconsciously, engage in low-risk cultural experimentation that enabled them to cope with the modern. His argument thematically explores issues of reason and animality in Gulliver's Travel's, the reapportionment of gender boundaries in Clarissa, and issues of property and virtue in Pope, among other topics.
