MoreLong description:
In order to have a constructive discussion about feelings in the late Middle Ages, it is beneficial to first evaluate how the feelings of individual men and women were defined. As such, the purpose of this book is to explore the words used by late medieval men and women to refer to their feelings and to examine their meanings. By doing so, we can better understand the efforts of late medieval society to express, use, and transmit certain feelings, especially as they related to manoeuvres of power or the articulation of social values.
