Produktbeschreibung

Violence and Emotions in Early Modern Europe explores the productive relationships between violence and emotions in the early modern period, and how they were created, supported and disseminated through bodies and texts. It examines the purposes for which violence and emotional states functioned - in many cases with the aim of creating order, healing, and to bring individuals and communities together around productive identities. The chapters look at a range of topics and countries including, Renaissance Italy, unusal weather, murder, tantrums in Paris, emotional economy, medicine, language and the English Civil War. Essentail reading for students of the history of emotions or violence.
