Emotion, Restraint, and Community in Ancient Rome Hardback
by Robert A. (Department of Classics, Kennedy Foundation Professor of Latin Language and Litera Kaster
Part of the Classical Culture and Society series
Hardback
Description
Emotion, Restraint, and Community examines the ways in which emotions, and talk about emotions, interacted with the ethics of the Roman upper classes in the late Republic and early Empire.
By considering how various Roman forms of fear, dismay, indignation, and revulsion created an economy of displeasure that shaped society in constructive ways, the book casts new light both on the Romans and on cross-cultural understanding of emotions.
