This monograph examines three aesthetic emotions in Ælfric's Lives of Saints. Looking into Ælfric's usage of this lexical domain and his depiction of emotion dynamics, this monograph shows how the emotion family of amazement is central to the hagiographical genre, and it highlights important emotion-regulation scripts that operate in these texts.
