The concept of materiality is in most contributions seen as closely linked with physicality. The publication thus follows on from existing research on the history of emotions as the history of the body and sheds light on new facets of this area of historical and literary studies."</em> <strong>- H-Soz-Kult</strong></p> <p> <em>"This important contribution to the study of emotions opens up an interesting, theoretically valid, and yet largely overlooked area of the field. The editors have produced a stimulating collection that will inspire further discussion of the bodily and material dimensions of emotion."</em> <strong>- Agnes Arndt</strong>, Max Planck Institute for Human Development</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Heikki Lempa</strong> is Professor of Modern European and German History at Moravian College. He is the author of <em>Beyond the Gymnasium: Educating the Middle-Class Bodies in Classical Germany</em> (2007) and <em>Bildung der Triebe. Der deutsche Philanthropismus (1768-1788)</em> (1993).</p>
