The Man of Feeling is a sentimental novel published in 1771, written by Scottish author Henry Mackenzie.

This novel is often seen to contain elements of the Romantic novel, which became prolific in the years following its publishing.

Henry Mackenzie

Henry Mackenzie FRSE (August 1745 – 14 January 1831 died at Edinburgh)[1] was a Scottish lawyer, novelist and writer. He was sometimes described as the Addison of the North. While Mackenzie is now mostly remembered as an author, his principal income came from legal roles, leading in 1804–1831 to a lucrative post as Comptroller of Taxes for Scotland, which allowed him to indulge his interest in writing.
