Frontmatter -- Contents -- Introduction -- Chapter 1 The Philosophical Underpinnings of Empathy -- Chapter 2 Empathy’s Volition in Preserving a Medieval Fraternal Bond -- Chapter 3 Empathy for an Aged Patriarch and a Young Lover: A Phenomenological Inquiry into Shakespeare’s Supporting Cast -- Chapter 4 Projecting an Empathy that Transgresses This World’s Bounds in Seventeenth-Century Metaphysical Poetry -- Epilogue -- Index
Summary: This study examines the various means of becoming empathetic and using this knowledge to explain the epistemic import of the characters’ interaction in the works written by Chaucer, Shakespeare, and their contemporaries. By attuning oneself to another’s expressive phenomena, the empathizer acquires an inter- and intrapersonal knowledge that exposes the limitations of hyperbole, custom, or unbridled passion to explain the profundity of their bond. Understanding the substantive meaning of the characters’ discourse and narrative context discloses their motivations and how they view themselves. The aim is to explore the place of empathy in select late medieval and early modern portrayals of the body and mind and explicate the role they play in forging an intimate rapport.
