What Is the History of Emotions? offers an accessible path through the thicket of approaches, debates, and past and current trends in the history of emotions.

This new narrative of emotional life in the West considers the varieties, transformations and constants of human emotions over eleven centuries. Covering both emotions as expressed 'on the ground' and as theorised in treatises, it offers the first complete picture of the history of emotions in pre-modern Western Europe.
