Against professional readers, writers of popular fiction argued that emotional reading and sensational novels cultivated an ethics of care. They turned to Associationism - an eighteenth- and nineteenth-century science that understood mental phenomena through physiology - to understand language as a physiological process that draws bodies together. Emotional reading cultivated empathy in popular readers, and imbued popular fiction with cultural value."--Publisher description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 222-241) and index. 505 00 $t Coda: In Defence of Victorian Optimism. $t 1 Feeling Bodies: Associationism and the Anti-Metaphorics of Materiality -- $t 2 Symbolic Bodies: The Storyteller, Memory and Suffering in Boz's 'The Hospital Patient' -- $t 3 Metaphoric Bodies: The Professional Author, Sensation and Serialisation in Great Expectations -- $t 4 Plastic Bodies: The Scientist, Vital Mechanics and Ethical Habits of Character in Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone -- $t 5 Represented Bodies: The Lawyer, Conclusions and Circumstantial Evidence in Lady Audley's Secret -- $t 6 Caring Bodies: The Reformer, Sartorial Exchange and the Work of the Novel in Walter Besant's Children of Gibeon -- $t Coda: In Defence of Victorian Optimism. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a English fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Sentimentalism in literature. 650 0 $a Association of ideas in literature. 650 0 $a Empathy in literature. 650 0 $a Books and reading $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Reading $z Great Britain $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Literature and morals $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a History. 650 7 $a Sentimentalism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01112663 650 7 $a Reading $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01090666 650 7 $a Literature and morals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000085 650 7 $a Books and reading. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836454 650 7 $a Association of ideas in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00819163 650 7 $a Empathy in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908892 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781474476232 830 0 $a Edinburgh critical studies in Victorian culture. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117022418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F6D984643D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
