Recensioner i media

"This book traces the triumph of motherly love among the highest elites of seventeenth-century Rome. ... Accounting for Affection will be required reading for historians of the family, the early modern state, and the role of emotions in history. Castiglione has done the field a service, and successfully placed motherhood, and mothers, at the heart of the early modern political imaginary." (P. Renee Baernstein, Journal of Modern History, Vol. 89 (1), March, 2017) "Castiglione is to be commended for her own resourcefulness in assembling a large quantity of first-person accounts of the women's range of interests and enterprises. ... her book is a valuable account of the importance of women in the family dynamics and family politics of the early modern Roman aristocracy." (Stanley Chojnacki, American Historical Review, Vol. 121 (4), October, 2016)
