- W4311468921 abstract "Abstract The question of whether misanthropy might be curable gained a particular urgency across the eighteenth century. Whereas some thinkers recommend solitude as a cure for misanthropy—or at least as a means to make its symptoms more manageable—others fear that reclusiveness can actually exacerbate misanthropic melancholy. This chapter explores a variety of ‘misanthropic conversion narratives’ from the 1720s onwards—works depicting curmudgeonly main characters being coaxed out of their misanthropy and rehabilitated into society, in ways that their original solitude had not managed to achieve. While people often fall into misanthropy by random misfortune, these ‘conversion narratives’ invariably suggest that their re-emergence from misanthropy and reconciliation with society must be deliberately orchestrated by a third party. Indeed, although the events that cure misanthropy frequently prove fanciful and even supernatural in origin, the means by which they operate are recognizably human, and reveal much about understandings of misanthropic psychology." @default.
