Engaging the Emotions in Spanish Culture and History

"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

"This impressive collection of essays is set to become a landmark text of the modern period, and its contributors represent the cutting edge of Hispanism, both within Spain and within the Anglo-American critical tradition. This is a timely volume. Emotions are not simply part of the human self, but are provoked, tempered, tolerated, and encouraged by different historical, social, and political situations and circumstances, and this collection is a way of charting a type of sociological as well as psychological history that takes account of local specificity."
