About this ebook

The life experiences of men and women take on meaning through the emotionality they entail, and 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.

Contributors are: Maravillas Aguiar, Iñaki Bazán, Anna Caiozzo, Carla Casagrande, Riccardo Cristiani, Vincent Debiais, Jonas Holst, Eduard Juncosa, Andrea Knox, Mauricio Molina, Miguel Ángel Motis, Josep Maria Ruiz Simon, Flocel Sabaté, Karen Stöber, William Marx, Barbara H. Rosenwein, Alberto Velasco, and Alexandra Velissariou.
