This volume... presents a series of case studies on the
construction, representation, and historical significance of
emotion. Though focused on Russia and, to a lesser degree,
southeastern Europe, the contributions range widely over time—from
the late eighteenth century to the present, and among
disciplines—from history, literature, and cultural studies, to
sociology and anthropology.... Taken as a whole, this volume
demonstrates the vitality of this small but growing field within
Russian and east European studies.
