Editorial Reviews
Review
‘From this collection we discover that emotions were the objects of constant vigilance and effort, shaped by ever changing ideas and norms concerning the self, the holy, the mind, the arts, friendship, sickness and health. Overall, a fascinating sampling of the best recent work in the history of emotions, framed by a strong introduction and a provocative methodological essay by Barbara H Rosenwein.’ William M Reddy, Duke University ‘Essential reading for anyone interested in the history of emotions and in early modern cultural history more generally.’ Jacqueline Van Gent, Australian Research Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions
