Book synopsis

In late medieval and early modern Europe, textual§and visual records of disaster and mass death allow us to encounter the intense§emotions generated through the religious, providential and apocalyptic frameworks§that provided these events with meaning. This collection brings together§historians, art historians, and literary specialists in a cross-disciplinary§collection shaped by new developments in the history of emotions. It offers a§rich range of analytical frameworks and case studies, from the emotional§language of divine providence to individual and communal experiences of§disaster. Geographically wide-ranging, the collection also analyses many§different sorts of media: from letters and diaries to broadsheets and§paintings. Through these and other historical records, the contributors examine how communities and individuals§experienced, responded to, recorded and managed the emotional dynamics and§trauma created by dramatic events like massacres, floods, fires, earthquakes§and plagues.§
