Description

Generations of Feeling: A History of Emotions in Pre- and Early Modern Western Europe

This comprehensive history explores the varieties, transformations, and constants of human sentiments over eleven centuries in pre- and early modern Western Europe. Barbara H. Rosenwein examines the feelings expressed within diverse communities, from monasteries to royal courts, and how these emotions reflect their social, religious, ideological, and cultural environments.

The study considers both everyday emotional experiences and those theorized by influential thinkers of the time, offering a profound new narrative of emotional life in the West.
