| Summary: |
"Literary texts both clarify and complicate our understanding of medieval emotions; they not only represent characters experiencing emotions and reacting emotionally to the behaviour of others within the text, but also evoke and play upon emotions in the audiences which heard these texts performed or read. The presentation and depiction of emotions in the single most prominent and influential story matter of the Middle Ages, the Arthurian legend, is the subject of this volume. Covering texts written in English, French, Dutch, German, Latin and Norwegian, the essays presented here explore notions of embodiment, the affective quality of the construction of mind, and the intermediary role of the voice as both embodied and consciously articulating emotions. ... Contributors: Anne Baden-Daintree, Frank Brandsma, Helen Cooper, Anatole Pierre Fuksas, Jane Gilbert, Carolyne Larrington, Andrew Lynch, Raluca Radulescu, Sif Rikhardsdottir, Corinne Saunders."--Page 4 of cover. |
