During the period of the Baroque and Enlightenment the word
"emotion", denoting passions and feelings, came into usage, albeit
in an irregular fashion. "Emotion" ultimately emerged as a term in
its own right, and evolved in English from meaning physical
agitation to describe mental feeling. However, the older
terminology of "passions" and "affections" continued as the
dominant discourse structuring thinking about feeling and its wider
religious, political, social, economic, and moral imperatives. The
emotional cultures described in these essays enable some
comparative discussion about the history of emotions, and
particularly the causes and consequences of emotional change in the
larger cultural contexts of the Baroque and Enlightenment. Emotions
research has enabled a rethinking of dominant narratives of the
period-of histories of revolution, state-building, the rise of the
public sphere, religious and scientific transformation, and more.
As a new and dynamic field, the essays here are just the beginning
of a much bigger history of emotions.
