"A savory book for anyone interested in the history of emotions, Early Modern Emotions offers the timid a tempting buffet of short essays to sample, while the more serious scholar will find the whole a sumptuous feast."Barbara H. Rosenwein, Professor emerita, Loyola University Chicago, USA"This is an inspiring collection. The brief essays explain complicated topics in clear language and with engaging examples. The volume makes historiography approachable for students, who can use the material as the starting point for classroom discussions or research papers. Such a wide range of material is so ably handled that the scholar, too, will profit from dipping into the book to think about early modern emotions from new angles."Caroline R. Sherman, The Catholic University of America, USA
