This book addresses the distinct representations of emotions in
non-fictional texts from the seventeenth to the mid-nineteenth
century (1600-1850). Focusing on memoirs, autobiographies,
correspondences and conduct manuals, it argues that in those
writings, passions and emotions are differently expressed than in
fiction. It also offers a comparative study of texts from cultures
as diverse as English, French, Korean and Chinese, and of emotions
in relation to genre, identity, and morality during significant
cultural transformation of the early modern period. This book is
distinctive in its choice of non-fictional genres, its period, and
its cross-cultural approach. It can benefit scholars interested in
exploring emotion as a historical and cultural product, and in
enriching their knowledge of an emerging scholarly direction:
studies in self-narratives (autobiography, memoirs, dream
narratives, letters, etc.) often insufficiently explored in earlier
historical periods.
