In Humoring the Body, Gail Kern Paster proposes a new way to read the emotions of the early modern stage so that contemporary readers may recover some of the historical particularity in early modern expressions of emotional self-experience. Using notions drawn from humoral medical theory to untangle passages from important moral treatises, medical texts, natural histories, and major plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, Paster identifies a historical phenomenology in the language of affect by reconciling the significance of the four humors as the language of embodied emotion. She urges modern readers to resist the influence of post-Cartesian abstraction and the disembodiment of human psychology lest they miss the body-mind connection that still existed for Shakespeare and his contemporaries and constrained them to think differently about how their emotions were embodied in a premodern world. 606 $aDrama$xPsychological aspects 606 $aMind and body in literature 606 $aHuman body in literature 606 $aEmotions in literature 610 $aemotional, acting, actor, actress, stage, theatre, theater, theatrical, shakespeare, famous, well known, playwright, 1500s, globe, england, britain, british, queen elizabeth, galenic, naturalism, blood, choler, melancholy, humors, phlegm, biology, early modern, close reading, medical, medicine, theory, natural, history, historical, affect, cartesian. 615 0$aDrama$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aMind and body in literature. 615 0$aHuman body in literature. 615 0$aEmotions in literature. 676 $a822.309 700 $aPaster$b Gail Kern$0792366 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822022903321 996 $aHumoring the body$94065310 997 $aUNINA
