In this, the second History of Emotions annual lecture at Queen Mary, Professor Steven Connor (Grace 2 Professor of  English, University of Cambridge) will argue that the history of emotions depends heavily on the idea of collective emotions, such as guilt, panic, anxiety, offence, hostility and even, if rarely, contentment.
