No book has taken on board with such ferocious conviction, as she does, the infant history of the emotions, which must surely now join the established conceptual apparatus with which we explore the social world of the European past ... A massive and unyielding research effort, told almost entirely from primary manuscript and printed sources, lays the foundation of her argument ... There is a new star in the firmament of English social history. Newton could not be a more appropriate recipient of large-scale funding by the Wellcome Trust. Everything points to the enormous promise that she has shown in her two first books, The Sick Child (2012) and Misery to Mirth. * Anthony Fletcher, History * Newton brings to her impressive array of primary sources, and her keen eye for language.
