The team of authors

11 historians with different specialities – e.g., art, culture, labour – have teamed up to investigate what it means to ‘feel political.’ The book coming out of this collaboration continues the successfully established tradition of multi-authored works produced by the Center for the History of Emotions (Emotional Lexicons, 2011; Learning How to Feel, 2014; Civilizing Emotions, 2015; Encounters with Emotions, 2019). Working closely together throughout the writing process ensures that the chapters result in an interwoven unity, emphasize intersections and cross-references and avoid repetition.

Due to this intense scholarly collaboration, the book ranges more widely across geographical and social spaces than a single author could ever hope to achieve. At the same time, collaboration brings out the general from the particular and comes up with consistent arguments about how emotions strengthened political communality and encouraged political participation over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
