What is the History of Emotions?

"It is hard to imagine a better introduction to this timely and important topic. Written by two scholars who know the terrain first-hand, this account will guide you through the debates and point you in the right direction for your own future studies."
Lynn Hunt, UCLA
 
"The book you hold in your hands is a crisp, accessible, and contemporary guide to the history of emotions. Rosenwein and Cristiani's practical approach will help students apply the theory of emotions to primary sources, making the book invaluable for beginners."
Jan Plamper, Goldsmiths, University of London
