This collection is an enquiry into compassion as an early modern
emotional phenomenon, situating it within the complexity of
European economic, social, cultural and religious tensions. Drawing
on recent work in the history of emotions, leading scholars
consider the particularities of early modern compassion,
demonstrating its entanglements with diverse genres and
geographies. Chapters on canonical and less familiar works explore
tragedy, comedy, sermons, philosophy, treatises on consolation,
medical writing, and dramatic theory, showing how early modern
compassion shaped attitudes and social structures that remain
central to the way we imagine our response to suffering today, and
how such investigations can ultimately provoke new ways of thinking
about community in contemporary Europe.
