The Lives of Machines investigates how Victorian technoculture came to shape this language of human emotion so pervasively and irrevocably and argues that nothing is more intensely human and affecting than the nonhuman. Tamara Ketabgian explores the emergence of a modern and more mechanical view of human nature in Victorian literature and culture. Treating British literature from the 1830s to the 1870s, this study examines forms of feeling and community that combine the vital and the mechanical, the human and the nonhuman, in surprisingly hybrid and productive alliances. Challenging accounts of industrial alienation that still persist, the author defines mechanical character and feeling not as erasures or negations of self, but as robust and nuanced entities in their own right. The Lives of Machines thus offers an alternate cultural history that traces sympathies between humans, animals, and machines in novels and nonfiction about factory work as well as in other unexpected literary sites and genres, whether domestic, scientific, musical, or philosophical. Ketabgian historicizes a model of affect and community that continues to inform recent theories of technology, psychology, and the posthuman. The Lives of Machines will be of interest to students of British literature and history, history of science and of technology, novel studies, psychoanalysis, and postmodern cultural studies. 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and technology$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMachinery in literature 606 $aMachinery$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aTechnology$xSocial aspects$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and technology$xHistory 615 0$aMachinery in literature. 615 0$aMachinery$xHistory 615 0$aTechnology$xSocial aspects$xHistory 676 $a820.9/356 686 $aHIS015000$aLIT000000$aLIT004120$2bisacsh 700 $aKetabgian$b Tamara Siroone$0902878 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910132637503321 996 $aThe lives of machines$92018418 997 $aUNINA
