Doing Emotions History

"An excellent collection. Many of these essays represent the state of the art in the history of emotions, combining a very sophisticated understanding of the relations between emotional experience and emotional expression, between practices and feelings, between self and collectivity."--William M. Reddy, author of The Making of Romantic Love: Longing and Sexuality in Europe, South Asia, and Japan, 900–1200 CE

"The essays goad historians to bravely study how emotions and emotional standards change when society modernizes.  Recommended."--Choice

“An essential reference for those in emotions history and for anyone who wants to understand the contours and promises of this emerging field.”--Canadian Journal of History
