情感对象：中世纪晚期英国的书与家庭

通过与15世纪的文学藏品《牛津博德莱恩图书馆手稿》（Oxford，Bodleian Library Draft Ashmole 61）的接触，《情爱的对象》恢复了这本中世纪书籍的情感吸引力。
这本书探索了书中的居民——人类和非人类、有形和无形——如何与当时和现在的读者合作，通过将手稿与不同的文化、历史和物质环境结合起来的方式，阐述了手稿的物质吸引力。在这样做的过程中，它追溯了《手稿》为其中世纪晚期的英国家庭提供的情感读写能力培训。在《手稿》塑造了精神上慷慨大方、注重社交的家庭成员时，这些家庭中的不同居民融入了书中的生态。
Objects of Affection: The Book and the Household in Late Medieval England
Objects of affection recovers the emotional attraction of the medieval book through an engagement with a fifteenth-century literary collection known as Oxford, Bodleian Library Manuscript Ashmole 61.
Exploring how the inhabitants of the book’s pages – human and nonhuman, tangible and intangible – collaborate with its readers then and now, this book addresses the manuscript’s material appeal in the ways it binds itself to different cultural, historical and material environments. In doing so it traces the affective literacy training that the manuscript provided its late-medieval English household, whose diverse inhabitants are incorporated into the ecology of the book itself as it fashions spiritually generous and socially mindful household members.
