Power of Emotions A History of Germany from 1900 to the Present
'Ute Frevert's new book is an encyclopaedic history of the social and cultural framing of emotions. It is an entrancing and lively account of the power of emotions to change worlds. A 'must read' for anyone curious about lived, felt experiences in the twentieth century.' Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck, University of London
'Written by one of the world's leading historians of Germany at the top of her game, Ute Frevert's The Power of Emotions is an unusually marvellous and a marvellously unusual book. This book looks at German history from about 1900 onwards through the prism of 20 emotions. Every chapter on an emotion is a kind of tour down 120 years of German memory lane, furnishing highly original re-readings through a history of emotions lens.' Jan Plamper, University of Limerick
'In this elegantly written book, Ute Frevert demonstrates how emotions make history and are also made by history. She analyses twenty different emotions from anger to nostalgia and from disgust to pride and uses them to shine a light on the five political regimes of twentieth-century Germany.' Helen Watanabe-O'Kelly, University of Oxford
'… although initially disorienting to read, this panoramic history of emotions is ultimately reorienting in its subject matter and its approach. It brings to light the emotional dimension of the past, illuminating people, places, events, and experiences that have generally remained in the shadows or only been dimly discernible.' Thomas A. Kohut, The Journal of Modern History
