In order to have a constructive discussion about feelings in the late Middle Ages, it is beneficial to first evaluate how the feelings of individual men and women were defined. As such, the purpose of this book is to explore the words used by late medieval men and women to refer to their feelings and to examine their meanings. By doing so, we can better understand the efforts of late medieval society to express, use, and transmit certain feelings, especially as they related to manoeuvres of power or the articulation of social values. Contributors are: Mechthild Albert, Jacqueline Cerquiglioni-Toulet, Frank Collard, Paola Corti Badia, Francesca Español, Isabel Grifoll, Juan Francisco Jiménez Alcázar, José Martínez Gázquez, Alicia Minguélez, Matilde Juan, Liza N. Pina-Rubio, Gerardo Rodríguez, Flocel Sabaté, Benedicte Sère, and Marta Serrano.
Flocel Sabaté, Ph.D. (1993), Universitat de Barcelona, is Professor of Medieval History at the Universitat de Lleida and Doctor Honoris Causa at the Universidad Nacional de Cuyo.
