Brill Discourses of Anger in the Early Modern Period: 40 (Intersections, 40)

Discourses of Anger offers an interdisciplinary account of how different discourses generated their own version, assessment, and semantics of anger in the early modern period. It includes contributions on philosophy and theology, poetry, medicine, law, political theory, and art. Review "A major contribution to the reception of Stoicism [...]. The variegated approach taken in this volume is indispensable for the field. As Seneca wrote about anger, there are 'a thousand other kinds of this multiform evil', but by contributing a number of high-quality essays that approach anger from different angles, the authors have done us a service not only for thinking about the thousands of kinds of anger in the early modern period, but for thinking about emotions in history comparatively and across disciplines as well."
