Emotions in Europe, 1517-1914 Volume IV: Transformations, 1789-1914
This volume of primary sources focuses on the history of emotions in Europe and its empires between 1789 and 1914.

The study examines the subjects of the self, family and community, religion, politics and law, science and philosophy, and art and culture.
Sources include letters, diaries, legal papers, institutional records, newspapers, science and philosophical writings, literature and art from a diversity of voices and perspectives. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this collection will be of great interest to students of history and literature.
