The study examines the link between father-daughter incest and emotions in medieval and early modern literature, a theme only marginally researched to date. By engaging in discourse about this taboo notion, it develops a set of theoretical and methodical tools that allow for the historically adequate and sophisticated literary analysis of emotions within and beyond the texts.
