This session focuses specifically on emotions and on literary evidence, continuing a conversation begun at the 2012 Dublin workshop on Anglo-Saxon Emotions, to which all three speakers contributed. Themes addressed in the session will include the representation of emotion in Beowulf; what happens to emotional resonances when portions of text are transposed between contexts; and the emotional implications of scenes of arrival. |
