Publisher Synopsis
'There is much to be gained from reading the work of a distinguished group of scholars working at the top of their game, drawing broadly on literary, musical, art historical, and colonial histories to particularize what McClary, borrowing a term from Raymond Williams, calls "the structures of feeling" of early modernity.' -- Gail Kern Paster Renaissance Quarterly vol 66:04:2013 'The essays in this collection demonstrate smart approaches to thinking about fleeting feeling in the widely diverse cultures of seventeenth-century Europe... These essays will be useful to scholars of art, music, culture, history, and literary works.' -- Aleksondra Hultquist Francia-Recensio -Perspectiva.net August 2015 'In a series of provocative essays on an array of topics in seventeenth-century studies, Structures of Feeling in Seventeenth-Century Cultural Expressions contributes to our understanding of the messiness of thought in early modern Europe.' -- Rebecca Cypess H-France vol 15:53:2015 Read more...
