"Constitutes a new contribution to this field of study--one that is especially welcome with regard to Spain, where the study of the history of emotions has had a late start and remains in an early phase, as the editors note in the introduction. . . . The present volume will doubtless constitute a cornerstone of and an indispensable point of reference for any future inquiry into the history of emotions in Spain."—Journal of Modern History
