Reading Emotions in Late Medieval and Early Modern Scotland

Panel and Discussion

What might a history of emotion(s) in Scotland look like? What research questions should we be asking? How might a more joined-up collaboration across Scotland’s languages result in more nuanced understandings of cultural production and interaction? Elizabeth Elliott will focus on the role of the Bannatyne Manuscript in developing an emotional repertoire in sixteenth-century Scotland; Kate Mathis and Kate Ash-Irisarri will examine the emotions of grief across Gaelic and Older Scots; Joanna Martin’s talk considers the feelings of loneliness, drawing on her current research on hame.
