Generations of Feeling is the first book to provide a comprehensive
history of emotions in pre- and early modern Western Europe.
Charting the varieties, transformations and constants of human
sentiments over the course of eleven centuries, Barbara H.
Rosenwein explores the feelings expressed in a wide range of
'emotional communities' as well as the theories that served to
inform and reflect their times. Focusing specifically on groups
within England and France, chapters address communities as diverse
as the monastery of Rievaulx in twelfth-century England and the
ducal court of fifteenth-century Burgundy, assessing the ways in
which emotional norms and modes of expression respond to, and in
turn create, their social, religious, ideological, and cultural
environments. Contemplating emotions experienced 'on the ground' as
well as those theorized in the treatises of Alcuin, Thomas Aquinas,
Jean Gerson and Thomas Hobbes, this insightful study offers a
profound new narrative of emotional life in the West.
