Across six volumes, A Cultural History of the Emotions explores how
emotions have changed over the course of human history, but also
how emotions have themselves created and changed history. Emotions
underpin our everyday lives and shape our mental, physical and
social well-being. This collection shows how emotions can offer a
unique insight into the historical thought and function of
different societies. Each volume in the series encompasses
interdisciplinary work on the emotions, covering the medical,
scientific, religious and intellectual history, how they have been
performed and represented and how they were enacted in social
practices on both a personal and public level. The same eight
themes are addressed in all six volumes: 1. Medical and Scientific
Understandings 2. Religion and Spirituality 3. Music and Dance 4.
Drama 5. The Visual Arts 6. Literature 7. In Private: The
Individual and the Domestic Community 8. In Public: Collectivities
and Polities A Cultural History of the Emotions is the first
comprehensive, period by period overview of this fascinating topic,
from antiquity to the present day. It will be essential reading for
anyone researching or studying the emotions.
