"""This is a bold history, powered by phenomenal research and striking insights into the differences between working-class and middle-class understandings of love, family, and local ties in the 19th century."" * Nancy F. Cott, Jonathan Trumbull Research Professor of American History, Harvard University * ""I have greatly looked forward to this book, and it does not disappoint -- it's a truly imaginative contribution to the history of emotion, the family and community, and the American working class. The range of letters on which the study is based is amazing, and the analysis of the distinctive emotional styles persuasive. There is rich material as well for students to explore in dealing with a more inclusive emotional history."" * Peter N. Stearns, Distinguished University Professor of History, George Mason University *"
