It traces emotional contagion and the way passions circulate among people, drawing on Hume’s account of passions as transferable and impersonal. The work links these dynamics to literary and poetic practices across authors and genres, organizing chapters around Smith, Wordsworth, Godwin, and Austen, and concluding with quotation and emotional circulation in early nineteenth-century England.","","cbCaiu21bxHsNZTz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu21bxHsNZTz","pdf",31295322,1,187,"English","en",105,"# Introduction: Emotional Extravagance and the Epistemology of Feeling\n## Emotional Extravagance and Communication of the Passions\n# Contents\n## 1 The Philosopher as Man of Feeling: Hume's Book of the Passions\n## 2 Sentimentality and Experience in Charlotte Smith's Sonnets\n## 3 Female Chatter: Gender and Feeling in Wordsworth's Early Poetry\n## 4 Phantom Feelings: Emotional Occupation in The Mysteries of Udolphe\n## 5 Lost in a Book: Jane Austen's Persuasion\n## Coda: Quotation and the Circulation of Feeling in Early Nineteenth-Century England","[{\"question\":\"How does the introduction describe eighteenth-century feelings as “circulating” rather than purely private experiences?\",\"answer\":\"Feelings are portrayed as autonomous substances that move among persons, acting like contagious forces that do not stay within a single individual’s inner life.\"},{\"question\":\"What role does Hume’s theory of passions play in the book’s argument?\",\"answer\":\"Hume is used to support the claim that passions spread easily from one person to another and that emotional claims of individuals are subordinate to feelings communicated from without.\"},{\"question\":\"Which literary works and authors does the table of contents highlight across the chapters?\",\"answer\":\"The contents organize discussion around Charlotte Smith, Wordsworth, a section on The Mysteries of Udolphe, and Jane Austen’s Persuasion, with a coda focused on early nineteenth-century England.\"}]",1782214827,471,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":15,"description":14,"schema_data":33,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"strange-fits-of-passion-epistemologies-of-emotion-hume-to-austen",{"@graph":34,"@context":84},[35,52,67],{"@type":36,"itemListElement":37},"BreadcrumbList",[38,42,46,49],{"item":39,"name":40,"@type":41,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":43,"name":44,"@type":41,"position":45},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":41,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":41,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/strange-fits-of-passion-epistemologies-of-emotion-hume-to-austen/33725/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":39,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-04","2026-06-23",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"How does the introduction describe eighteenth-century feelings as “circulating” rather than purely private experiences?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Feelings are portrayed as autonomous substances that move among persons, acting like contagious forces that do not stay within a single individual’s inner life.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"What role does Hume’s theory of passions play in the book’s argument?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Hume is used to support the claim that passions spread easily from one person to another and that emotional claims of individuals are subordinate to feelings communicated from without.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"Which literary works and authors does the table of contents highlight across the chapters?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"The contents organize discussion around Charlotte Smith, Wordsworth, a section on The Mysteries of Udolphe, and Jane Austen’s Persuasion, with a coda focused on early nineteenth-century England.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24}]
