The volume assumes that the embryonic ability to feel unfolds through a complex dialogue with the social and cultural environment and specifically through reading material. The fundamental formation takes place in childhood and youth. A multi-authored historical monograph, \u003cem\u003eLearning How to Feel\u003c\/em\u003e uses children's literature and advice manuals to access the training practices and learning processes for a wide range of emotions in the modern age, circa 1870-1970. The study takes an international approach, covering a broad array of social, cultural, and political milieus in Britain, Germany, India, Russia, France, Canada, and the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eLearning How to Feel\u003c\/em\u003e places multidirectional learning processes at the centre of the discussion, through the concept of practical knowledge. The book innovatively draws a framework for broad historical change during the course of the period. Emotional interaction between adult and child gave way to a focus on emotional interactions among children, while gender categories became less distinct. Children were increasingly taught to take responsibility for their own emotional development, to find 'authenticity' for themselves. In the context of changing social, political, cultural, and gender agendas, the building of nations, subjects and citizens, and the forging of moral and religious values, \u003cem\u003eLearning How to Feel\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates how children were provided with emotional learning tools through their reading matter to navigate their emotional lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ute Frevert, Pascal Eitler, Stephanie Olsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199684995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199684991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Ute Frevert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054732046591,"sku":"9780199684991","price":155.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7288b08a-4a18-4868-b4ee-40ba8166934e.jpg?v=1685031668","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/learning-how-to-feel-ute-frevert-9780199684991","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
