Thesis (Ph.D.)--Columbia University, 1993.

Subjective experience has, in recent years, become the subject of increased historical contextualization. This thesis undertakes to explore the categories of subjective experience denoted in the eighteenth century as the passions, in the nineteenth century as the emotions, and more recently as affect. In conceptualizations of affective mechanisms ideas about psychic causality and social context are conveyed. In its movement from eighteenth-century moral philosophy to the nineteenth century's nascent science of psychology, the discourse on feeling describes a large epistemic shift. The nineteenth-century novel is a genre organized to reveal human motive. In nineteenth-century novelistic narrative, feelings and motives are rendered with increasing complexity, involving significant innovations in narrative technique. The novels of Charles Dickens report a changing rhetoric, from that of the moral sentiments to the nineteenth-century emotions. Dickens' ideas about the operations of feeling are inseparably linked to his evolving narrative methods for motive-attribution. The first chapter of this study focuses on the affective requirements for virtue. The feeling/virtue sympathy and its central place in the egoism-altruism debate of the eighteenth century is traced and followed through its permutations in nineteenth-century works by Charles Darwin, Herbert Spencer and Alexander Bain. In Chapter Two, Dickens' own affective requirements for virtue, and the role of self-ignorance to maintain them, are explored. His reliance on narratorial evasions and repressions is examined in relation to the increased representation in his novels of unconscious processes in characters. Chapter Three examines the dutiful and gendered emotions, tracing the idea of modesty, from eighteenth-century debates regarding both its innateness and its role in female education, through its treatment by such thinkers as Havelock Ellis and William McDougall. In Dickens and in works by later writers, namely Meredith, Gissing and Ouida, an increasing bifurcation between novelistic accounts of this "emotion" and those of contemporary psychologists is described. A concluding chapter examines the critique of Cartesian definitions of the emotions and the rise of a new language of feeling in Wilde, Freud and Wittgenstein.
