Book review: feeling things: objects and emotions through history edited by Stephanie Downes, Sally Holloway and Sarah Randles

In Feeling Things: Objects and Emotions through History, editors Stephanie Downes, Sally Holloway and Sarah Randles bring together contributors to explore how people have both shaped and been shaped by objects throughout history, with a particular focus on the European medieval and early modern periods. The engaging and fascinating chapters that make up the volume offer a worthy contribution to the study of material cultures that will resonate with scholars working across different eras and disciplines, writes Lexi Earl.
