Most of the contributors to this volume do not hail from the United States but look at the nation from abroad. They explore the role of emotions in history and ask how that exploration changes what we know about national and international history, and in turn how that affects the methodological study of history. In particular they focus on emotions in American history between the 18th century and the present: in war, in social and political discourse, as well as in art and the media. In addition to case studies, the volume includes a review of their fields by senior scholars, who offer new insights regarding future research projects UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781845458195 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781845458195 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781845458195/original ER -
