In this wide-ranging and provocative study, Lutz looks at the ways people have understood weeping from the earliest known representations of tears in the 14th century BC to the tears found in today's films. Drawing on works of literature, philosophy, art and science from the writings of Plato to the paintings of Picasso to modern medical journals, he unearths the multiple meanings of uses of tears.
