Violence, Trauma, and Memory: Responses to War in the Late Medieval
and Early Modern World brings together eight essays that examine
medieval and early modern violence and warfare in France, the
Hispanic World, and the Dutch Republic through the lens of trauma
studies and memory studies. By focusing on warfare, these essays by
historians, literary specialists, and historians of visual culture
demonstrate how individuals and groups living with the
"ungraspable" outcomes of wartime violence grappled with processing
and remembering (both culturally and politically) the trauma of
war.
This book analyzes how acts of feeling at a discursive, somatic,
and rhetorical level were theorized and practiced in multiple
medieval and early-modern sources (literary, medical, theological,
and archival). It covers a large chronological and geographical
span from eleventh-century France, to fifteenth-century Iberia and
England, and ending with seventeenth-century Jesuit meditative
literature. Essays in this book explore how particular emotional
norms belonging to different socio-cultural communities (courtly,
academic, urban elites) were subverted or re-shaped; engage with
the study of emotions as sudden, but impactful, bursts of sensory
experience and feelings; and analyze how emotions are filtered and
negotiated through the prism of literary texts and the
socio-political status of their authors.
