Reddy comments on each of the essays that is framed as the discussion of a specific emotion or emotional attitude--the perception of emotional coldness (Andrei Zorin), fear (Jan Plamper), disgust (Olga Matich and Adi Kuntsman). He argues that these authors offer both much less and much more. Zorin's study of Aridrei Turgenev provides a glimpse of the transition from an eighteenth- to an early nineteenth-century emotional regime. Plamper's examination of the emergence of military psychology traces the development of a late nineteenth-century social science of the psyche. Matich explores the somatic anxieties of an early twentieth-century novelist, reminiscent of a whole strain of troubled and troubling early twentieth-century reflection. Kuntsman probes the powerlessness of victims of Stalinist-era labor camps, whose sufferings resemble those of millions of others caught in modernist state projects aimed at administering mass emotions. These essays shed precious new light on an emerging terrain, and, by their careful interpretive work, point to important connections and chronological twists.
