Short description:
In the Middle Ages, authority and power were linked to emotional expressions. This book, through specific cases, analyses emotional strategies used in the game of power and the emotive models employed to rule society, deal with conflicts, and build authority.
MoreLong description:
The relationship between rulers and their subjects is always channelled by emotion. This volume explores the specific tones this relationship took on in the Middle Ages, as well as their accordance with a concept of power based ultimately on agreement, an inclination to visualise emotions, a social pedagogy based on fear, and a religious ideology which placed humanity between divine order and divine wrath. It also examines the emotive models used to rule society and deal with conflicts. Together, the contributions in this book demonstrate how our understanding of late medieval society can be enhanced by recognising the emotional strategies present in the game of power and how they were used to build authority.
