The book sketches out prominent shifts in cultural reactions to the idea of diffused agency and the prized model of the interiorized, individual person capable of self will and governance. Melissa Rampelli takes up the work of Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, and Thomas Hardy, showing how the authors play with and manipulate stock literary figures to contribute to this dialogue about the causes and cures of women's hysterical distress." -- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : hysteria and the plot of pathology -- The sentimental heroine and hysteria in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility -- The woman detective and hysteria in Charles Dickens's Bleak House -- The married woman and hysteria in George Eliot's Middlemarch -- The new woman and hysteria in Thomas Hardy's The Woodlanders -- Epilogue : continued preoccupations--the shell-shocked war veteran and hysteria in Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Literature and medicine $z United States $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Literature, Modern $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women in literature. 650 0 $a Women $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Literature and medicine $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000080 650 7 $a Literature, Modern $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000172 650 7 $a Women $x Health and hygiene $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176758 650 7 $a Women in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177912 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783031398964 830 0 $a Palgrave studies in literature, science, and medicine 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012433.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B6FA83A2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
