Spanning the 16th century, this study argues that the dynamics of disgust, envy, rejection, and dread, as they are currently theorized in the modern affective sciences, can be seen to guide textual production in the early modern court. With a multidisciplinary approach, the book develops and advances current scholarly treatments of early modern emotionality—which, in their largely historicist orientation, have tended to consider only how emotions were understood by Renaissance subjects. Because emotions are both socially contingent and biologically grounded, the author demonstrates the value of placing the transhistorical insights of the modern affective sciences alongside the still crucial findings of the historicist mode. 2018-06-07 23:55 2020-03-12 03:00:32 2020-04-01T12:41:30Z 2020-04-01T12:41:30Z 2018-01-15 book 650637 OCN: 1076627225 9780810136403 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/29980 eng Rethinking the Early Modern application/pdf n/a 650637.pdf Northwestern University Press 10.2307/j.ctv3znz47 101379 10.2307/j.ctv3znz47 b4699693-8bd9-4982-b22e-c153becb6f4b b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9780810136403 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) Evanston, Illinois 101379 KU Select 2017: Front list Collection Knowledge Unlatched open access
