      abstract = {This book addresses a little-considered aspect of the  study of the history of emotions in medieval literature:  the depiction of perplexing emotional reactions. Medieval  literature often confronts audiences with displays of  emotion that are improbable, physiologically impossible, or  simply unfathomable in modern social contexts. The intent  of such episodes is not always clear; medieval texts rarely  explain emotional responses or their motivations. The  implication is that the meanings communicated by such  emotional display were so obvious to their intended  audience that no explanation was required. This raises the  question of whether such meanings can be recovered. This is  the task to which the contributors to this book have put  themselves. In approaching this question, this book does  not set out to be a collection of literary studies that  treat portrayals of emotion as simple tropes or motifs,  isolated within their corpora. Rather, it seeks to uncover  how such manifestations of feeling may reflect cultural and  social dynamics underlying vernacular literatures from  across the medieval North Sea world.
