Matters of the Heart: History, Medicine, and Emotion
Bound Alberti, Fay (Senior Research Fellow, History Department, Queen Mary University of London)
The heart is the most symbolic organ of the human body, but it is the brain that is now commonly associated with emotion. Why then do emotional meanings of the heart linger? Matters of the Heart traces how emotions have been understood historically, addressing the shifting relationship from heart to brain as competing centres of emotion.
