This book analyzes how acts of feeling at a discursive, somatic,
and rhetorical level were theorized and practiced in multiple
medieval and early-modern sources (literary, medical, theological,
and archival). It covers a large chronological and geographical
span from eleventh-century France, to fifteenth-century Iberia and
England, and ending with seventeenth-century Jesuit meditative
literature. Essays in this book explore how particular emotional
norms belonging to different socio-cultural communities (courtly,
academic, urban elites) were subverted or re-shaped; engage with
the study of emotions as sudden, but impactful, bursts of sensory
experience and feelings; and analyze how emotions are filtered and
negotiated through the prism of literary texts and the
socio-political status of their authors.
