Managing Emotions in the Middle Ages
Series: - Later Medieval Europe, Volume: 26
Volume Editor:
The life experiences of men and women take on meaning through the emotionality they entail: the intensity of these experiences build certain memories which link the individuals within a society. As such, this volume argues that examining the management of emotions in late-medieval society will allow us to better understand it. By discussing theoretical frameworks for the historical study of emotions and presenting a range of case studies from the Middle Ages, the authors of this book illustrate how the management of emotions reflects and sheds light on the code of values and behaviour that guided this society.

This book will be of particular interest to historians and post-graduate students who study medieval history or the history of emotions and human behaviours.
