This collection of essays offers a major reassessment of the
meaning and significance of emotional experience in the work of
Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Recent scholarship on early
modern emotion has relied on a medical-historical approach,
resulting in a picture of emotional experience that stresses the
dominance of the material, humoral body. The Renaissance of emotion
seeks to redress this balance by examining the ways in which early
modern texts explore emotional experience from perspectives other
than humoral medicine. The chapters in the book seek to demonstrate
how open, creative and agency-ridden the experience and
interpretation of emotion could be. Taken individually, the
chapters offer much-needed investigations into previously
overlooked areas of emotional experience and signification; taken
together, they offer a thorough re-evaluation of the cultural
priorities and phenomenological principles that shaped the
understanding of the emotive self in this period. -- .
