  • Interpreting early modern English printed books on the passions

  • Emotion and Ethics

    Open AccessLinda A PollockARTICLEThe Historical Journal2025

    Passions and affections, notwithstanding their potential and capacity for disorder, were fundamental to the workings of the early modern world and lay at the centre of ethical life. Yet, most scholarship ignores the inseparability of emotion and ethics for early modern society. This article reviews the current state of scholarship in three fields: history of philosophy, history of emotions, and English society and governance, highlighting the ass…

  • Claudia Jarzebowski and Thomas Max Safley, editors. Childhood and Emotion

    Linda Pollock, Linda A PollockARTICLEThe American Historical Review2015

    Modern parents obsess about raising the emotionally aware child, and no wonder. So-called emotional intelligence—the ability to perceive, understand, control, and evaluate emotions—is deemed by many researchers to be a key predictor of children's ability to fit in at home, get along with peers, do well at school, and develop a well-balanced outlook on life. Was there a similar concern in past societies and if so how did children acquire emotional…

  • Blood, Bodies, and Families in Early Modern England

    Linda A PollockARTICLEThe English Historical Review2005Cited by: 8

    Blood, Bodies, and Families in Early Modern England. By PATRICIA CRAWFORD (Harlow: Pearson Education, 2004; pp. 251. Pb.n.p.). PATRICIA CRAWFORD has enjoyed a long scholarly career devoted to examining women in the past, particularly those below the level of the landed ranks. She consistently questions the primacy accorded male experience and demonstrates how focusing on women not only adds new information but also revises traditional interpretat…

  • Anger and the Negotiation of Relationships in Early Modern England

    Open AccessLinda A PollockARTICLEThe Historical Journal2004Cited by: 12

    This article, through a detailed examination of the private papers of the English landed elite, argues for the important place of anger in early modern society. It investigates the verbal expression of rage, from irritation to fury, in men and women: why it was aroused, how it was articulated, its effects, and in what circumstances anger was regarded as a legitimate response. Anger was a forceful invitation to renegotiate unsatisfactory aspects o…

  • Reality and Danger in Psychoanalytic Treatment

    Jonathan H Slavin, Miki Rahmani et al.ARTICLEThe Psychoanalytic Quarterly1998Cited by: 6References: 17

    In recent papers there has been considerable interest in the disclosure of the analyst's erotic countertransference. In our view this discussion touches a more fundamental issue: must something "real" take place between analyst and patient in order for real change to occur? And if what takes place is "real," will it not be dangerous and potentially destructive? Tracing the history of psychoanalytic understandings of what is "real" in the patient'…

  • Rethinking Patriarchy and the Family in Seventeenth-Century England

    Open AccessLinda A PollockARTICLEJournal of Family History1998Cited by: 3

    The historiography on the English family is divided between those who view the family as a sanctuary of emotional support and those who consider it an institution of female oppression, sibling jealousy, and intergenerational rivalry. The detailed archives of the Barrett-Lennard family reveal that this divide is mainly the product of a simplistic depiction of family life in the past, which fails to take into account the shifts in family relationsh…

  • Training a child in the way he/she should go. Cultural transmission and child-rearing within the home in England, circa 1550–1800

    Linda A PollockARTICLEPaedagogica Historica1996References: 6

    The history of childhood has been dominated by a few main issues: whether or not there was a concept of childhood in the past; the amount of affection and intimacy between parents and children in the past; the severity of the discipline imposed on children in the past. One group of historians claims that the domestic, nuclear, child-centered family emerged gradually in the eighteenth century; the other that parent-child relations throughout histo…
