This collection conducts an intersectional investigation of affects, feelings, and emotions in non-religious late Middle English literatures. From Geoffrey Chaucer to Gavin Douglas, eight chapters by leading scholars examine the coexistence of emotion and affect in Late Medieval representations of feeling.

This book examines how the late-medieval household acted as a sorter, user and disseminator of information. Considering the reciprocal relationship between the domestic experience and its cultural expression, contributors provide a fresh illustration of the imaginative scope of the late-medieval home and its centrality to cultural production. -- .
