Description
Concentrating on eighteenth-and nineteenth-century France, this book traces the curious evolution of the function of tears, from the public effusions of the eighteenth century through the more introspective sobbing of the Romantic period and on to the Victorian era's relegation of tears to the status of a feminine, and therefore reprehensible, weakness.
