Verkörperungen von Herrschaft

Recent years have witnessed growing interest in anger as a literary and societal phenomenon. Delving into this topic, this work examines the ways that 12th century authors functionalized rage for their narratives of power and rule. An innovative aspect of the work is its cross-genre examination of texts that can be seen as key conceptualizations of early statehood.

Zusammenfassung
"[...] the author convincingly achieves her proposed goal of analyzing the emotion of anger as a function of institutionalizing and personalizing literary motifs in select 12th century texts. The way in which she arrives at her goal is also commendable. The clarity of the study's style and tenor is one of its many strong suites."
