This is a deeply researched, theoretically innovative, and persuasive book. It is also frustrating. John Corrigan demonstrates thorough mastery of primary and secondary sources. Three appendixes, moreover, show painstaking attention both to current theory in the history of emotion and to the popular metaphors and technical philosophy that underlay nineteenth-century Protestant constructions of emotion. Appendix one, the historiographical survey, is by itself worth the price of the book. |
