Description



Book Synopsis



This interdisciplinary collection of ten essays is the first to redefine historical conceptions of "loneliness" in the Western world by exploring its manifestation in early modern textual sources. Contrary to current scholarly consensus that loneliness in Britain was understood as an emotion from the late eighteenth century, only beginning to emerge in its literary form in the writings of the Romantic poets, the contributors in this volume argue that early modern people were capable of complex and conflicting feelings of social and emotional isolation which were expressed in a wide range of writings. Moreover, these products of loneliness continue to resonate poignantly with humanity today.



From the Back Cover



Through a wide-ranging and methodologically astute investigation of early modern expressions of loneliness and solitude, this volume makes a valuable contribution to the History of Emotions by providing a useful corrective to the view of the early modern world as communal and where the existence of God and the consequent comfort that knowledge provides are taken as given.
