Abstract

This chapter, building on the work of Bernard Capp and other historians of emotions, investigates how verbal and physical articulations of anger, fear, desire and grief by Englishmen were represented and responded to in seventeenth-century England. Evidence is drawn from jest-books, collections of short ‘merry tales’, often with classical or medieval origins, many of which contained misogynistic and anti-patriarchal in tone.
