This volume of essays contributes to our understanding of the ways
in which the Jesuits employed emotions to "change hearts"-that is,
convert or reform-both in Europe and in the overseas missions. The
early modern Society of Jesus excited and channeled emotion through
sacred oratory, Latin poetry, plays, operas, art, and architecture;
it inflamed young men with holy desire to die for their faith in
foreign lands; its missionaries initiated dialogue with and
'accommodated' to non-European cultural and emotional regimes. The
early modern Jesuits conducted, in all senses of the word, much of
the emotional energy of their times. As such, they provide a
compelling focus for research into the links between rhetoric and
emotion, performance and devotion, from the sixteenth through
eighteenth centuries.
