Beskrivning
A fresh reading of medieval literature as deeply concerned with thinking about feelings. Are emotions primarily bodily or cognitive? Do “natural” emotions exist? What is the relationship between emotion and gender? In Foundations of Feeling, Jessica Rosenfeld shows how medieval literature informs contemporary ideas about how emotions operate. Ranging widely from love poetry to pastoral and theological writings, to political satire and more, Rosenfeld reveals a wealth of attention to emotions in both scientific and philosophical discourses of the time. By mining Latin, medieval French, and Middle English traditions, she relates medieval concerns to the most central, current debates (and impasses) in the fields of history of emotion and affect theory today, reframing how we think about and define feelings.

Recensioner i media

“Foundations of Feeling reveals the connections between literature and philosophy, between gender, affect, ethics, and politics. In the sometimes-difficult space of incommensurability provided and constituted by literary works, readers may imagine possibilities and find resources for ethical and political change. Rosenfeld’s work is theoretically ambitious and imaginative, grounded in insightful and sensitive analyses of examples drawn from a wide range of texts, genres, periods, and sociolinguistic contexts.”
