Through detailed histories of how people litigated emotional injuries like dishonour, humiliation, grief, and betrayal before the Quebec civil courts from 1870 to 1950, it explores the confrontation between people's lived experience of emotion and the legal categories and terminology of lawyers, judges, and courts. Drawing on archival case files, supplemented by newspapers and contemporary legal writings, it examines how individuals narrated their claims of injured feelings, and how the courts assessed those claims, using legal rules, social norms, and the judges' own feelings to validate certain emotional injuries and reject others. The cases reveal both contemporary views of emotion as well as the family, gender, class, linguistic, and racial dynamics that shaped those understandings and their adjudication. Examples include a family's grief over their infant son's death due to a physician's prescription error, a wealthy woman's mortification at being harassed by a conductor aboard a train, and the indignation of two Black men at being denied seats at a Montreal cinema. The book also traces an important legal change in how moral injury was conceptualized in Quebec civil law over the period, as it came to be linked to the developing idea of personality rights. By 1950, the subjective richness of stories of wounded feelings was increasingly put into the language of violated rights, a development with implications for both social understandings of emotion and how individuals presented their emotional injuries in court."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Personal injuries $z Quebec (Province) $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Liability for emotional distress $z Quebec (Province) $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Personal injuries $z Quebec (Province) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Liability for emotional distress $z Quebec (Province) $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Liability for emotional distress. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00997105 650 7 $a Personal injuries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01058585 651 7 $a Quebec. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207316 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 $a Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History, $e issuing body. 830 0 $a Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200226013754.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C9A11F12586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
