Emotions and Narrative in Ancient Literature and Beyond

Emotions and Narrative in Ancient Literature and Beyond lead image

The editors set themselves an ambitious undertaking: to provide further insights, in the form of an anthology, into the “vast and fascinating subject” of emotions. This volume does not only meet our expectations but goes well beyond them. Both editors and contributors have adopted a multifaceted approach, which makes it suitable both for experts and non-experts.
