Summary/Abstract: A systematic employment of metaphorical language reveals a particular type of fictional world, which, though undergoing a process of “metaphorisation” (Temmerman, 2000), is deeply rooted in the real eighteenth-century universe (Culea, 2007). This will be proven in the analysis of some metaphorical structures of the language of construction/ building (books, texts and narratives) and de-construction/ruination/un-making in the eighteenth-century English “culture of sensibility” (Brodey, 2008).
