чувствительность

[Boris Dralyuk]

Dear Alexei,

I think "sentimentalism" might indeed the best choice overall.  The word 
might also be rendered as "sensibility".

Yours,
Boris Dralyuk

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
