At the same time, they are shaped by historical experiences tied to family upbringing, educational and cultural institutions, work and the home. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWriting the History of Emotions\u003c\/i\u003e shows how emotions like love, trust, honour, pride, shame, empathy and greed have impacted historical change since the 18th century and were themselves dependent on social, political and economic environments. Importantly, this book provides a timely exploration of racialized, gendered, class-based notions of emotions. This exciting addition to Bloomsbury's successful \u003ci\u003eWriting History \u003c\/i\u003eseries analyses how emotions matter in and to history, and how they are themselves objects of history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere, leading scholar Ute Frevert eschews a traditional chronological history of emotions in favour of an innovative collection which transgresses time periods to illustrate the different emotional meanings one particular material object has had throughout history. This book sheds light on how emotions have been used, instrumentalised and manipulated both to propel and suspend democratic politics. In doing so, it opens a rich new avenue of research for the history of emotions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUte Frevert\u003c\/b\u003e is President of the Max Weber Foundation, Germany, and Director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin, where she leads the Center for the History of Emotions.
