Emotion and Imagination: A summary and expanded research

On page 15 of Emotion and Imagination Adam Morton discusses the connections between emotions and imagination. His philosophical standpoint is that emotion could not exist without imagination and that it would be nearly impossible to have imagination and not feel emotion from it. Morton states "An emotion is a state which generates a range of representations on a given theme, usually with respect to particular objects." (1) Morton provides an example of someone witnessing a kitten being killed by a dog. The witness would later feel horror when replaying, or imagining, that image in their mind. This is an example of the direct correlation between imagination and emotion. We feel emotions from the things that we think, and what we think is always going to technically be imagined, whether it happened or not if we are not seeing what is causing us to be emotional in that very moment it is then imagined, and that is Morton's central argument.
Morton continues to explain that imagination holds representations. These representations could be anything from imagining your cousin getting married to imagining the purse you saw last week that you wish you had purchased. He refers to these representations also as a "short-cut" to a whole grouping of emotions. (2)
In order to do a little more research on the philosophical aspect of emotions I searched the same section of the library to see what I could find. I was pleasantly surprised to find "The Emotions; A Philosophical Introduction" by Julien A Deonna and Fabrice Teroni. This book discusses relations between emotions and the multitude of things that affect them; such as values, perceptions, moods, beliefs, desires, etc. As asked on page 16 "Why think unconcious emotions exist at all if, as we have implied in Chapter 1, emotions are essentially felt?" the author covers a somewhat similar approach to the development of emotions. (3)
In "Emotions and Reasons" another book that I found, the author Patricia Routledge goes in depth on the reasoning for emotions, moreso than the development, as the other two books did. I found on page 55 her thoughts on love and "attachment-love" interesting. I also have pondered on the idea of love and whether or not it is something we can control. (4)
The first internet link I came across is actually a downloadable document that came from the same publishing company as "Emotion and Imagination", which is Polity Press. It reviews imagination as well as imagery and its effect on emotions. (5) The authors, Dustin Stokes and Jonathon M Weinburg also explain the architecture of the imagination.
