Anglo-Saxon Emotions

Reading the Heart in Old English Language, Literature and Culture

Herausgeber: Jorgensen, Alice; Wilcox, Jonathan; Mccormack, Frances

Beschreibung

In order to integrate early medieval Britain into the wider scholarly research into the history of emotions, this volume brings together established and younger scholars in order to stimulate further study within the discipline. With a tight focus on emotion, on Anglo Saxon England, and on language and literature, the volume considers a range of methodologies and theoretical perspectives, examines the interplay of emotion and textuality, explores how emotion is conveyed through gesture, interrogates emotions in religious devotional literature, and considers the place of emotion in heroic culture.
