Essays deal with such topics as cosmic emptiness, descent into the grave, and recurrent grief. In their analyses, the essays reveal the breadth of this imagery in Anglo-Saxon literature as it is used to describe thought and emotion, as well as the limits to knowledge and perception. The volume investigates the intersection between the burgeoning interest in trauma studies and darkness and the representation of the mind or of emotional experience within Anglo-Saxon literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Wehlau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1580443672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580443678\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Medieval Institute Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Ruth Wehlau","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44181321842943,"sku":"9781580443678","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5189df3-a0f4-48f5-9e5f-85125f11d843.jpg?v=1690259812","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/darkness-depression-and-descent-in-ruth-wehlau-9781580443678","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
