Frontmatter -- Renaissance History, Art and Culture -- Contents -- Introduction -- 1 The Place of Renaissance Italy in the History of Emotions -- 2 The Emotional Language of Justice in Late Medieval Italy -- 3 The Anxiety of the Republics -- 4 Humiliation and the Exercise of Power in the Florentine Contado in the Mid-Fourteenth Century -- 5 The Words of Emotion -- 6 Metaphor, Emotion and the Languages of Politics in Late Medieval Italy -- 7 Debt, Humiliation, and Stress in Fourteenth-Century Lucca and Marseille -- 8 Renaissance Emotions -- 9 The Emotive Power of an Evolving Symbol -- 10 The Emotions of the State -- 11 Control of Emotions and Comforting Practices before the Scaffold in Medieval and Early Modern Italy (with Some Remarks on Lorenzetti’s Fresco) -- 12 “Bene Comune e Benessere” -- Contributors
Summary: Emotions depend on language, cultural practices, expectation and moral beliefs. Hate, fear, cruelty and love are always turning history into the history of passion and lust, because emotional life is always ready to overflow intellectual life. This fascinating study of emotion in Renaissance Italy shows that emotions are built and created by the society in which they are expressed and conditioned. The contributors examine, among others, the emotional language of the court, around public execution, religious practices and during outbreaks of disease.
