• Resumen

  • What was the significance of pre- and early modern theories of affect, feelings, and affectio? Specifically, how did the premodern cognates of ‘affect’ and ‘affection’ – affectus, affection, and affeccioun – contribute to shaping discourses surrounding these keywords? The three editors and 20 distinguished authors that have come together to write Before Emotion: The Language of Feeling, 400-1800, a new collection of essays published as the four-teenth entry under the Routledge ‘Series in Medieval Literature and Culture’, have taken bold strides forward to answering these difficult questions – questions that until now have received no systematic analysis.
