Gauging Anger and Qualifying Forgiveness in Late Medieval Summae Confessorum
Latin manuals of casuistry ( summae confessorum ) for priests hearing confession from the turn of the fourteenth century to the turn of the sixteenth century offer sources for the history of ethical teachings about emotions such as anger in medieval Europe. These summas are casuistic in the sense of offering practical moral reasoning about anger and forgiveness based on the study of cases from Church law and theology. Whereas more public religiou…
“Angry as a pissemyre”
Although The Summoner’s Tale currently tends to be read as anti-fraternal satire that gives the last laugh to aristocratic characters, this study argues that Geoffrey Chaucer (d. 1400) included another layer of irony that appealed to members of his own social station serving as courtiers to England’s volatile aristocracy.

To test this hypothesis, this s…

God’s Wrath against the Wrathful in Medieval Mendicant Preaching
Medieval depictions of God’s wrath seem to run counter to Christian exhortations to patience and meekness. Such representations, however, not only sought to discourage anger but also deliberately expanded social norms governing the emotion. Latin moral treatises and preaching manuals written by Franciscan and Dominican friars in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries reveal how preachers presented the abstract moral teachings of scholastic autho…
