"I am very favorably impressed by the articles collected here and by the book as a whole. There is a coherence to the book in terms of topic, a coherence enhanced by the fact that there are essays on the most important figures in the period loosely between the Renaissance and the French Revolution. By its detail and range, the book takes the issue of politics and the passions well beyond Hirschman's classic "The Passions and the Interests," The selection of authors is first-rate."--Tracy B. Strong, University of California, San Diego"This is a distinguished collection of essays on a compelling topic by major scholars and theorists. Passion, emotion, and affect have been placed once again on the agenda of the humanities but these topics have been less scrutinized in political matters than elsewhere. This volume--which should appeal almost equally to students and teachers of politics, literature, and philosophy--could hardly arrive at a better time."--Ian Balfour, York UniversityKahn, Victoria Ann is the author of 'Politics and the Passions, 1500-1850', published 2006 under ISBN 9780691118611 and ISBN 0691118612.
