Summary "This book considers how emotions propagate power by exploring whose lives are grievable and what kinds of grief are valuable within and eroticized by medieval narratives. Incorporating literary, visual, and codicological evidence in sources from across the Mediterranean, The Erotics of Grief reads the performance of grief as one of community and remembrance, to answer why some lives are imagined to matter more than others, and to explore how a language of grief becomes a common language of status among the medieval Mediterranean elite"-- Provided by publisher.
