This title was first published in 2002: Gesa Stedman mines the vein
of emotion in Victorian writing to unearth new insights into the
ways literature responded to the dramatic social and political
changes then taking place. Contemporary research from various
disciplines, including sociology, ethnology and history, inform
this study, which juxtaposes canonical material such as Dickens'
"Hard Times", Charlotte Bronte's "Shirley" and Germaine de Stael's
"Corinne" with popular novels and non-fictional texts, such as "The
Education of the Heart" by Sarah Ellis and Darwin's "On the
Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals". The analysis deals
with emotions applying to both genders, but includes a special
section examining the representation of emotion in relation to
women. The book aims to provide new insight into the literature of
the period, and brings to light new material for scholars
interested in the philosophy and psychology of emotions.
