Only Keith Oatley could have written a book of this type––a scholarly treatise on emotions that reads like a novel. With erudition and verve he contextualizes the scientific study of the emotions both in linguistic history and in the social context of life. The examples and literary case studies come fast and furious, but the book never overwhelms. It is a fast read but the ideas and themes linger to be savoured long after one is through. Keith E. Stanovich, University of Toronto and author of The Robot′s Rebellion: Finding Meaning in the Age of Darwin
In this short history, Keith Oatley captures the current excitement of the ongoing Affect Revolution and its historical antecedents. As psychologists seek to decipher the foundations of the many emotional values of animate existence, they should not forget the many historical roots from which the current blossoming of research is emerging. This gem helps put the field in perspective. Jaak Panksepp, Bowling Green State University and author of Affective Neuroscience
There are dozens of books on emotions these days, but none like Oatley′s new work. This original, wide–ranging, erudite, yet accessible romp through the centuries of thought and feeling about emotion as encountered in literature, philosophy, religion, politics, history and anthropology, is a tour de force. A consummate work by one of the leaders in the field of emotions research, it is not only a scholarly work of tremendous breadth, but a literary achievement in its own right––Oatley is a master of the well–turned phrase and the work is rich in wry musings and penetrating insight. Carol Magai, Long Island University, Brooklyn Campus
Oatley′s beautifully written book comes out of his deep knowledge both of the history of thought and of the most up–to–date research in the science of emotions a masterly introduction to philosophical and scientific thinking about the emotions in personal and social life. It′s all done with Oatley′s characteristic lucidity, his light touch, and his novelist′s gift for vivid illustration. this book will afford fresh insights and original perspectives to delight even seasoned scholars. Ronnie de Sousa, University of Toronto
