  • Medieval Affect, Feeling, and Emotion

    Edited by Glenn D. Burger, Holly A. Crocker ...
    Series Book 107 - Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature
    Representations of feeling in medieval literature are varied and complex.

While medieval studies has generated a rich scholarly literature on 'affective piety', this collection charts an ... Read more

  • Medieval Misogyny and the Invention of Western Romantic Love

    by R. Howard Bloch ...
    Until now the advent of Western romantic love has been seen as a liberation from—or antidote to—ten centuries of misogyny. In this major contribution to gender studies, R.

  • Knowing Poetry

    Verse in Medieval France from the "Rose" to the "Rhétoriqueurs"

    by Adrian Armstrong, Sarah Kay ...
    In the later Middle Ages, many writers claimed that prose is superior to verse as a vehicle of knowledge because it presents the truth in an unvarnished form, without the distortions of meter and rhyme. Beginning in the thirteenth century, works of verse narrative from the early Middle Ages were recast in prose, as if prose had become the literary norm. Instead of dying out, however, verse took on ... Read more

    Ritual, Clothing, and Identity During the Hundred Years War

    by Susan Crane ...
    Series series The Middle Ages Series
