Emotional Arenas by Mark Seymour

Emotional Arenas by Mark Seymour

Set in recently unified Italy, the narrative of Emotional Arenas is driven by a failed marriage, the wife's scandalous affair with a circus artiste, and the illicit couple's murder of the hapless husband. Imaginative reading of the criminal prosecution records and newspaper coverage allows reconstruction of the emotional experiences of this story.

Seymour in any case must be congratulated for having offered a tool that can shed light on what could be called the social "spatiality" of emotional life, a spatiality that surely is not limited to the specific time and place analyzed in this book* Silvana Patriarca, Journal of Modern History *
