чувствительность

[Alexei Kutuzov]

Dear Colleagues,

Could anyone recommend a translation for Ñ



Dear Colleagues,

Could anyone recommend a translation for чувствительность (in the Karamzinian 
sense of the word)?  I sense that the English "sensitivity" could work, except 
that чувствительность for Karamzin is as much an emotional as it is an 
aesthetic and ideological predisposition, if one may say so.  "Sentimentalism" 
might be the best choice, if one disregards the differences between the European 
and Russian versions of the same thing, but I'd be ever so grateful for 
suggestions or corrections from the list.

Thank you in advance, respected colleagues.

Alexei Kutuzov
