by Carol Zisowitz Stearns, Peter N. Stearns
On This Page
Description
In this groundbreaking social history, Carol and Peter Stearns trace the two hundred-year development of anger, beginning with premodern colonial America. Drawing on diaries and popular advice literature of key periods, Anger deals with the everyday experiences of the family and workplace in its examination of our attempts to control our domestic lives and lessen social tensions by harnessing emotion. Offering an entirely new approach to the study of emotion, the authors inaugurate a new show more field of study termed "emotionology," which distinguishes collective emotional standards from the experience of emotion itself. show lessTags
