Henry Mackenzie

Henry Mackenzie ( born July 26, 1745 in Edinburgh, Scotland, † January 14, 1831 ) was a Scottish writer.

His most famous work, The Man of Feeling (Eng. The man of feeling), was published anonymously in 1771. This novel, in which the influence of Laurence Sterne is felt, is a typical example of the literature of sensibility. In 1773 he published his next novel, The Man of the World. 1781 followed the epistolary novel Julia de Roubignei, which some contemporaries appreciated as Mackenzie's best book.
