Between 1780 and 1920, modern conceptions of emotion-conceptions
still very much present in the 21st century-first took shape. This
book traces that history, charting the changing meaning and
experience of feelings in an era shaped by political and market
revolutions, romanticism, empiricism, the rise of psychology and
psychoanalysis. During this period, the word emotion itself gained
currency, gradually supplanting older vocabularies and visions of
feeling. Terms to describe feelings changed; so too did conceptions
of emotions' proper role in politics, economics, and culture.
Political upheavals turned a spotlight on the role of feeling in
public life; in domestic life, sentimental bonds gained new
importance, as families were transformed from productive units to
emotional ones. From the halls of parliaments to the familial
hearth, from the art museum to the theatre, from the pulpit to the
concert hall, lively debates over feelings raged across the 19th
century.
