As with Copeland's other major studies, Emotion and the History of Rhetoric in the Middle Ages synthesizes multiple research fields to serve multiple audiences ... indispensable.' * Jonathan Newman, Studies in the Age of Chaucer * Copeland has given us a convincing and conceptually rich account of Western medieval rhetoric that will also serve as an invaluable resource more broadly for historians of literature, culture, and thought. * Jonathan Morton, Medium Aevum * Professor Copeland's text is a surprisingly readable history that builds upon itself logically, engaging the reader even as it carries them through dense lines of arguments and swaths of narrative ... Emotion and the History of Rhetoric in the Middle Ages is truly a life's work, and it is sure to become an essential text for scholars of the Middle Ages across the disciplines of literature, history, philosophy, and theology, as well as all kinds of scholars interested in a more broadly conceived history of emotions. * Shea Mccollough, English, Washington University in St. Louis, Comitatus * Copeland is generous with citations from primary sources and is always ready to explore the byways as well as the highways of her terrain ... Readers will thus find much to learn from this book. * Ad Putter, Review of English Studies *
