Academic résumés tell us as much about the person as they do about their subject and its history. Ute Frevert gave important impetus to social and gender history through trend-setting publications. Early on, she also worked out the history-forming power of individual feelings and located them in their historical ties. Today the historian is considered to be the most influential representative of a new field of research in this country, but also far beyond the German linguistic borders: the history of emotions in modern times. This volume brings together 22 texts: programmatic essays that paved the way, stimulating individual studies and previously unpublished lectures that demonstrate the appeal and value of the history of emotions. In an award-winning linguistic style, both elegant and precise, the selection presents a carefully composed synthesis of three decades that testifies to the power of feelings in history.
