Nevertheless, these theories are not well understood. \u003ci\u003eA Silvan Tomkins Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e makes his theories portable across a range of interdisciplinary contexts and accessible to a wide variety of contemporary scholars and students of affect. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Silvan Tomkins Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e provides readers with a clear outline of Tomkins’s affect theory as he developed it in his four-volume masterwork \u003ci\u003eAffect Imagery Consciousness\u003c\/i\u003e. It shows how his key terms and conceptual innovations can be used to build robust frameworks for theorizing affect and emotion. In addition to clarifying his affect theory, the \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes Tomkins’s other significant contributions, from his broad theories of imagery and consciousness to more focused concepts of scenes and scripts. With their extensive experience engaging and teaching Tomkins’s work, Adam J. Frank and Elizabeth A.
