New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2006. Drawing on extensive microhistorical research, as well as cognitive and social constructionist theories of the emotions, Rosenwein shows that different emotional communities coexisted, that some were dominant at times, and that religious beliefs affected ecomotional styles even as those styles helped shape religious expression. "Whith this book Barbara. H. Rosenwein has made the emotions an essential component of our approach to the changing social history." - Jacques Le Goff.
