In late medieval and early modern Europe, textual and visual
records of disaster and mass death allow us to encounter the
intense emotions generated through the religious, providential and
apocalyptic frameworks that provided these events with meaning.
This collection brings together historians, art historians, and
literary specialists in a cross-disciplinary collection shaped by
new developments in the history of emotions. It offers a rich range
of analytical frameworks and case studies, from the emotional
language of divine providence to individual and communal
experiences of disaster. Geographically wide-ranging, the
collection also analyses many different sorts of media: from
letters and diaries to broadsheets and paintings. Through these and
other historical records, the contributors examine how communities
and individuals experienced, responded to, recorded and managed the
emotional dynamics and trauma created by dramatic events like
massacres, floods, fires, earthquakes and plagues.
