 perience of smell is renowned for its links to memory and emotion\; but it
  is the most neglected of senses in literary and cultural history\, perhap
 s due to its transience and supposed ineffability. This paper comes at the
  beginning of a project exploring the changing representations of smell in
  different genres of writing in the long eighteenth century\, which attemp
 ts to explore the philosophical history of smell and its relation to metap
 hor. Examples will be drawn from Swift\, Smollett and Shelley.
