Abstract
In this thesis I combine the fields of emotion studies and digital humanities to analyze the Middle Dutch Arthurian romance Ferguut. I discover that Ferguut is a very emotional text and I am able to confirm this with digital methods. Using the concept of the story arc, I am able to show how emotions move throughout the text and where peaks and lows are. This is done by use of a brand new computer model, that is able to recognize emotion in Middle Dutch texts. The results of this model align with the foundings I do with close reading methods.
