Note publique d'information : "This collection of essays offers a major reassessment of the meaning and significance
of emotional experience in the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Recent
scholarship on early modern emotion has relied on a medical-historical approach, resulting
in a picture of emotional experience that stresses the dominance of the material,
humoral body. The Renaissance of emotion seeks to redress this balance by examining
the ways in which early modern texts explore emotional experience from perspectives
other than humoral medicine. The chapters in the book seek to demonstrate how open,
creative and agency-ridden the experience and interpretation of emotion could be.
Taken individually, the chapters offer much-needed investigations into previously
overlooked areas of emotional experience and signification; taken together, they offer
a thorough re-evaluation of the cultural priorities and phenomenological principles
that shaped the understanding of the emotive self in this period."
