"The essays collected here explore the emotionologies of several medieval, romance emotional communities through both fictional and non-fictional narratives composed in and for them. The contributors analyze texts from different linguistic traditions and different periods, but they all focus on women characters (both historical and fictional) and the emotional standards and styles that a community proposed for women through its narratives"--Provided by publisher
