Failures of Feeling: Insensibility and the Novel by Wendy Anne Lee (English) Pap

Description: Failures of Feeling by Wendy Anne Lee Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This book examines the unexpected power of dispassion to incite the passions of sentimental literature, restoring the conversation between Enlightenment philosophy and fiction to the history of emotions, and reframing our contemporary theories of mind and of the novel. Publisher Description This book recovers the curious history of the "insensible" in the Age of Sensibility. Tracking this figure through the English novels uneven and messy past, Wendy Anne Lee draws on Enlightenment theories of the passions to place philosophy back into conversation with narrative. Contemporary critical theory often simplifies or disregards earlier accounts of emotions, while eighteenth-century studies has focused on cultural histories of sympathy. In launching a more philosophical inquiry about what emotions are, Failures of Feeling corrects for both of these oversights. Proposing a fresh take on emotions in the history of the novel, its chapters open up literary historys most provocative cases of unfeeling, from the iconic scrivener who would prefer not to and the reviled stock figure of the prude, to the heroic rape survivor, the burnt-out man-of-feeling, and the hard-hearted Jane Austen herself. These pivotal cases of insensibility illustrate a new theory of mind and of the novel predicated on an essential paradox: the very phenomenon that would appear to halt feeling and plot actually compels them. Contrary to the assumption that fictional investment relies on a richness of interior life, Lee shows instead that nothing incites the passions like dispassion.
