Analysis of how emotion is pictured in Arthurian legend. Literary
texts complicate our understanding of medieval emotions; they not
only represent characters experiencing emotion and reaction
emotionally to the behaviour of others within the text, but also
evoke and play upon emotion inthe audiences which heard these texts
performed or read. The presentation and depiction of emotion in the
single most prominent and influential story matter of the Middle
Ages, the Arthurian legend, is the subject of this volume.Covering
texts written in English, French, Dutch, German, Latin and
Norwegian, the essays presented here explore notions of embodiment,
the affective quality of the construction of mind, and the
intermediary role of the voice asboth an embodied and consciously
articulating emotion. Frank Brandsma teaches Comparative Literature
(Middle Ages) at Utrecht University; Carolyne Larrington is a
Fellow in medieval English at St John's College, Oxford;Corinne
Saunders is Professor of Medieval Literature in the Department of
English Studies and Co-Director of the Centre for Medical
Humanities at the University of Durham. Contributors: Anne
Baden-Daintree, Frank Brandsma, Helen Cooper, Anatole Pierre
Fuksas, Jane Gilbert, Carolyne Larrington, Andrew Lynch, Raluca
