This edited collection traverses the genre of anger studies by documenting its transition from the Classical age up to our present-day cognizance of the philosophical, socio-historical, psycho-physiological and pathological theorizations of anger. The book illustrates how literature may systematically document and even institutionalize primal, emotive outbursts, providing meaningful analysis for scholars across various disciplines. The contributions here cover a wide spectrum of critical works, ranging from Aristotle’s Rhetoric, Seneca’s De Ira and Plutarch’s On Restraining Anger to Bharat Muni’s Natyashastra, as well as notable nineteenth century texts by authors such as E.T.A. Hoffmann, Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Bronte, Matthew Arnold, Algernon Swinburne, Rudyard Kipling and Henry Lawson.

  • "The volume culminates into an extensive authorial gradation on the process through which anger has to be taken out of its instinctive shell, linguistically expressed, addressed in its incorporated and symbolized/creative forms and deconstructed in all of its unconscious glory, which then, of course, has to be analysed through a close, analytical reading. Both the purpose and the literature/theoretical review is well elaborated, leaving no questions unaddressed as to the motivation behind the project. Overall, the volume is not only a welcome addition to Anger Studies, but also one of the very few volumes that can be found on the same, within the realm of literary studies."
