Swift, Gay, Pope, Radcliffe, and Austen confronted the question of what if nature, and the people who inhabit it, are strictly perceptual? The introduction describes the atomic perceptualism of Berkeley and Hume as a literary challenge. Subsequent chapters show how these authors, in turn, represented and resolved it. Piper also indicates a development in English literary history away from the materialism of Bacon and Hobbes toward the concern of Locke, Berkeley, and Hume with experience.
