| Abstract | "What binds 18th-century melancholics such as James Thomson, Sarah Fielding's David Simple, or Henry Mackenzie's Harley is a belief that critical thought is worth voicing whether or not it contributes to social change. That belief converges with 18th-century ideas of sentiment and loneliness, but it also syncs up in surprising ways with theoretical models of political subjectivity that emerge in the 20th century. Attention to melancholic expression reveals resonances not only to medical, religious, poetic, and philosophical language, but also between early modern thinkers and those in the 20th century"-- Provided by publisher. |
