Thinking about Tears

Crying and Weeping in Long-Eighteenth-Century France

Beschreibung

A crucial period for the birth of modernity, France's 'long eighteenth century' (c. 1650-1820) was an era marked by the formulation of a new aesthetic and ethical code revolving around the intensification of emotions and the hyperbolic use of weeping. IThinking About Tears reveals another side to a period often called 'the age of reason'.
