The Navigation of Feeling: A Framework for the History of Emotions by: Reddy, William M.

Hardcover. NY, Cambridge University Press, 1st, 2001, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, 380 pages, hardcover. Pictorial boards are clean and bright, as are interior pages. Binding is solid. This book offers a theory of emotions which both critiques and expands upon recent research in the fields of anthropology and psychology. Exploring the links between emotion and cognition, between culture and emotional expression, Reddy applies this theory of emotions to the processes of history. He demonstrates how emotions change over time, how emotions have a very important impact on the course of events, and how different social orders either facilitate or constrain emotional life. In an investigation of Revolutionary France, where sentimentalism in literature and philosophy had promised a new and unprecedented kind of emotional liberty, Reddy's theory of emotions and historical change is successfully put to the test.
