505 0  Introduction. "Spring and motive of our actions": 
       disinterest and self-interest -- "Acted by another": 
       agency and action in early modern England -- "The belief 
       of the people": Thomas Hobbes and the battle over the 
       heroic -- "For want of some heedfull eye": Mr. Spectator 
       and the power of spectacle -- "For its own sake": virtue 
       and agency in early eighteenth-century England -- "Not 
       perform'd at all": managing Garrick's body in eighteenth-
       century England -- "I wrote my heart": Richardson's 
       Clarissa and the tactics of sentiment -- Epilogue: "A sign
       of so noble a passion": the politics of disinterested 
       selves. 
520 1  "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. 
520 8  This tradition - which Scott Paul Gordon locates in 
       seventeenth-century religious discourse, in early 
       eighteenth-century moral philosophy, in mid eighteenth-
       century acting theory, and in the emergent novel - resists
       autonomy and defers agency from the individual to an 
       external "prompter." Gordon argues that the trope of 
       passivity aims to guarantee a disinterested self in a 
       culture that was increasingly convinced that every 
       deliberate action involves calculating one's own interest.
       Gordon traces the origins of such ideas from their roots 
       in the nonconformist religious tradition to their 
       flowering in one of the central texts of eighteenth-
       century literature, Samuel Richardson's Clarissa."--
