A Project Update:
I decided to simply dive right in to it all. I created a Google Sites and started throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks. I am trying to not get lost in the design aspect this early into the project, but get the most important structure of the site. How it will look and the information laid out logically.
Research Finds:
I have already mentioned some books I have started to read, but I have found a wonderful source from a fellow Twitterstorian. His site is called earlymodernemotion.net and has primary and secondary sources separated beautifully. I will be linking this to my site but seeing if I can push questions about the different types of sources and how reliable they are when compared. My continued research will be looking at if/how emotions are taught to students in current Early Modern England classes and try to build off of that.
I am currently struggling with deciding how to make this all work but as mentioned above, I am trying to just jump right in and watch it all come along. I am gaining a lot of new ideas as I see the site fill up!
The cover for Anatomy of Melancholy is one thing I would love to deep dive into. I think that all of the symbolism in the cover alone can help someone infer quite a bit. I would like to do a form of some time asking questions with this to discuss the basic understanding of science and religion battles happening by 1600. I would love to see the responses.
This is the 2nd addition released in 1626
