The Cure of the Passions and the Origins of the English Novel
Sill, Geoffrey (Rutgers University, New Jersey)
This 2001 book examines the role of the passions in the rise of the English novel. Sill examines medical, religious and literary efforts to anatomize the passions and shows that the figure of the 'physician of the mind' features prominently in novels by Defoe, Fielding, Richardson, Smollett, Burney and Edgeworth.
