Literary notes about upsurge (AI summary)
In literature, "upsurge" is often employed to depict a rapid and significant increase in a variety of contexts. It conveys not only physical or material growth, as when population and construction activity rose after A.D. 1300 [1] or when economic power propelled self-assurance during the industrial revolution [2], but also the intensification of emotional or spiritual states, such as a surge in religious devotion [3], profound romantic passion [4], or even feelings of intense dislike [5]. The term further extends to breakthroughs and advancements—highlighting spikes in scientific research following World War II [6][7] and moments of cultural or technological transformation [8]—as well as addressing the resurgence of human sentiments like elation and gratitude [9] and the unstoppable flow of a spiritual force [10].
