  abstract  = {We here describe a novel methodology for measuring affective language in
	historical text by expanding an affective lexicon and jointly adapting it to
	prior language stages. We automatically construct a lexicon for word-emotion
	association of 18th and 19th century German which is then validated against
	expert ratings. Subsequently, this resource is used to identify distinct
	emotional patterns and trace long-term emotional trends in different genres of
	writing spanning several centuries.},
