By focusing on warfare, these essays by historians, literary specialists, and historians of visual culture demonstrate how individuals and groups living with the “ungraspable” outcomes of wartime violence grappled with processing and remembering (both culturally and politically) the trauma of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eViolence, Trauma, and Memory: Responses to War in the late Medieval and Early Modern World showcases the richness of the archive in premodern Continental and Colonial Europe for contemporary reflection about the forms, strategies, and effects of cultural memory in the wake of traumatic events. Its expertly researched and well-written essays span a range of representational genres and linguistic traditions, offering stimulating close readings that never lose sight of the larger questions that lend the volume both its coherence and its import.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Andrea Frisch, University of Maryland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection includes an impressive range of studies on the connections between military violence, emotions, memory, and trauma from the Hundred Years’ War to the Thirty Years’ War. The comparative way in which it is arranged allows for fruitful understandings within and between the regions of France, the Hispanic World, and the Dutch Republic, while also providing a wealth of interdisciplinary analysis of their respective literature, visual culture, and history. The greatest strength of this volume is its challenge to the old myth that late medieval and early modern Europe was so violent that warfare had become banal. Instead, they restore the human story to the history of warfare in this period, and they allow us to see how it continued to shape and reshape human communities well off the battlefield. This is a good introduction for those new to the field, while providing a tremendous amount of insight to more advanced scholars. As such, it is an important and significant contribution to current scholarship on late medieval and early modern society. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Kate McGrath, Central Connecticut State University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction, Alexandra Onuf and Nicholas Ealy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection One: France\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Memorializing the Battle of Crécy: Colins de Beaumont’s “On the Crécy Dead” as a Textual Monument for Processing Trauma, Kimberly Lifton\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: “Je hé guerre, point ne la doit prisier”: Emotions, War, and Trauma in the Poetry of Charles of Orléans, Charles-Louis Morand-Métivier\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Bringing up the Dead: The Grotesque in Literature after the French Wars of Religion, Kathleen Long\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection Two: The Hispanic World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Desire, Trauma, and Warfare in Fernando de Rojas’s Celestina, Nicholas Ealy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Violence in the Making: Remembering the Viceroy’s Assassination during the Catalan Revolt of 1640, Ivan Gracia-Arnau\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Trauma and Postmemory in Martín Cortés’s Uprising, Covadonga Lamar Prieto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSection Three: The Dutch Republic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: Hendrick Goltzius’s Lucretia and the Eighty Years’ War, Rachel Wise\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: Landscape and the Memory of Place in Claes Jansz.
