Abstract	Emotions are part of social worlds and take their meaning from local understandings: this is the focus of 'Emotions in Context'. The papers, which move from the 9th to the 12th century, explore the emotional worlds and communities of this period. The first looks at Alcuin, Charlemagne's intellectual-in-residence; the second seeks to uncover different emotional communities in a chronicle that stretches from the mid-9th to the 12th century; the third looks at the emotional world of Hugh of St. Victor in the context of the urban community of which he was a part.
