This book addresses the nature and role of fear in the German world
from the early modern period through to the 20th century. Offering
the first collection that centres fear in the historical analysis
of central Europe since 1600, these essays demonstrate the
importance of emotional experience to the study of the past. Fear
has been at the centre of many of the most important historical
events in this region; witch hunts, religious conflicts, invasions
and ultra-nationalism in the form of the Nazi regime. This book
explores ways in which fear was understood, developed and
negotiated throughout these historical contexts, and how people of
the German world coped with it. From the fear of vampires to the
loss of national sovereignty, pestilence, gypsies and criminals,
Fear in the German Speaking World 1600-2000 draws connections
between cases over a period of 400 years and considers fear
alongside the history of emotions more generally. In doing so, the
chapters reveal a complex, evolving construction of fear that is
universally human, but also dependent upon its cultural and
historical context.
