What did it mean to be happy in early modern Europe? Positive
emotions in early modern literature and culture includes essays
that reframe historical understandings of emotional life in the
Renaissance, focusing on under-studied feelings such as mirth,
solidarity, and tranquillity. Methodologically diverse and
interdisciplinary, these essays draw from the history of emotions,
affect theory and the contemporary social and cognitive sciences to
reveal rich and sustained cultural attention in the early modern
period to these positive feelings. The book also highlights
culturally distinct negotiations of the problematic binary between
what constitutes positive and negative emotions. A comprehensive
introduction and afterword open multiple paths for research into
the histories of good feeling and their significances for
understanding present constructions of happiness and wellbeing. --
