States of emotion were vital as a foundation to society in the
premodern period, employed as a force of order to structure
diplomatic transactions, shape dynastic and familial relationships,
and align religious beliefs, practices and communities. At the same
time, societies understood that affective states had the potential
to destroy order, creating undesirable disorder and instability
that had both individual and communal consequences. These had to be
actively managed, through social mechanisms such as children's
education, acculturation, and training, and also through religious,
intellectual, and textual practices that were both socio-cultural
and individual. Presenting the latest research from an
international team of scholars, this volume argues that the ways in
which emotions created states of order and disorder in medieval and
early modern Europe were deeply informed by contemporary gender
ideologies. Together, the essays reveal the critical roles that
gender ideologies and lived, structured, and desired emotional
states played in producing both stability and instability.
