Excellent- More about The Routledge History of Loneliness
The Routledge History of Loneliness is a multidisciplinary approach to the history of a modern emotion, exploring its representation in art and literature, conceptualization by philosophers and writers, and personal narratives. It examines loneliness as a feeling often defined in contrast to sociability and affective connections, particularly in relation to the family, household, and community. The book explores its precedents in ideas about solitude, melancholy, and nostalgia and considers it in cross-cultural perspectives.

The Routledge History of Loneliness is a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of a contemporary emotion, spanning from the seventeenth century to the present. This multidisciplinary volume brings together thirty esteemed scholars from diverse fields, including history, anthropology, philosophy, literature, and art history. By examining the representation of loneliness in art, literature, and personal narratives, the book delves into its conceptualization by philosophers and writers and its perception by individuals. It explores loneliness as a distinct emotion often contrasted with sociability and emotional connections, particularly in relation to family, household, and community. Recognizing that loneliness is a relatively recent term in the English language, the book traces its precedents in ideas of solitude, melancholy, and nostalgia. Additionally, it considers the potential for cross-cultural perspectives on loneliness. This book appeals to students and researchers across a wide range of disciplines, including the history of emotions, social sciences, and literature, offering a critical historical lens to an emotion that remains deeply relevant in contemporary society.
