[electronic resource]. - Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2002. - 293 p.
Cover; Half-title; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Acknowledgments; Introduction: “Spring and Motive of our Actions”: disinterest and self-interest; CHAPTER 1 “Acted by Another”: agency and action in early modern England; CHAPTER 2 “The belief of the people”: Thomas Hobbes and the battle over the heroic; CHAPTER 3 “For want of some heedfull Eye”: Mr. Spectator and the power of spectacle; CHAPTER 4 “For its own sake”: virtue and agency in early eighteenth-century England; CHAPTER 5 “Not perform’d at all”: managing Garrick’s body in eighteenth-century England
Challenging recent work that contends that seventeenth-century English discourses privilege the notion of a self-enclosed, self-sufficient individual, The Power of the Passive Self in English Literature recovers a counter-tradition that imagines selves as more passively prompted than actively choosing.
