Compunction was one of the most important emotions for medieval
Christianity; in fact, through its confessional function,
compunction became the primary means for an affective sinner to
gain redemption. Cultures of Compunction in the Medieval World
explores how such emotion could be expressed, experienced and
performed in medieval European society. Using a range of
disciplinary approaches – including history, philosophy, art
history, literary studies, performance studies and linguistics –
this book examines how and why emotions which now form the bedrock
of modern western culture were idealized in the Middle Ages. By
bringing together expertise across disciplines and medieval
languages, this important book demonstrates the ubiquity and impact
of compunction for medieval life and makes wider connections
between devotional, secular and quotidian areas of experience.
