Sacred and profane, public and private, emotive and ritualistic,
internal and embodied, medieval weeping served as a culturally
charged prism for a host of social, visual, cognitive, and
linguistic performances. Crying in the Middle Ages addresses the
place of tears in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic cultural
discourses, providing a key resource for scholars interested in
exploring medieval notions of emotion, gesture, and sensory
experience in a variety of cultural contexts. Gertsman brings
together essays that establish a series of conversations with one
another, foregrounding essential questions about the different ways
that crying was seen, heard, perceived, expressed, and transmitted
throughout the Middle Ages. In acknowledging the porous nature of
visual and verbal evidence, this collection foregrounds the
necessity to read language, image, and experience together in order
to envision the complex notions of medieval crying.
