3.15 The limits of the analysis

  1. The study of emotive aspects in literature has developed especially within the context of medieval studies. I use here the concept in a broader sense than is the case in these studies. I have used the following: Rosenwein 1998 Anger; Rikhardsdottir 2005 Bound; Rosenwein 2006 Emotional; Rikhardsdottir 2015 Translating; Rosenwein 2015 Feeling (History of Emotions).
