Rosenwein specializes in medieval history and the history of emotions. [2] Her scholarship may be divided into several phases. Her earliest research centered on the Abbey of Cluny,on which she wrote To Be the Neighbor of Saint Peter:The Social Meaning of Cluny's Property (1989). She then proceeded to examine immunities (privileges given to monasteries to protect them from the encroachment of laypeople or the jurisdiction of bishops in the Middle Ages),resulting in Negotiating Space:Power,Restraint,and Privileges of Immunity in Early Medieval Europe (1999). [3] In the third phase,Rosenwein examined the history of emotions,editing Anger's Past:The Social Uses of an Emotion in the Middle Ages (1998),and writing Emotional Communities in the Early Middle Ages (2006) and Generations of Feeling:A History of Emotions 600-1700 (2016). The latter work has since been translated into Italian. [3] [6] [7] In later years,Rosenwein has continued her research in medieval history and the history of emotions,co-authoring notable works such as The Middle Ages in 50 Objects (2018) and What is the History of Emotions? (2018). Among her latest works are Anger:The Conflicted History of an Emotion (2020) [3] and "Love:A History in Five Fantasies" (2022). [8] She is also the author of a large number of articles for scholarly publications. [3]
Rosenwein has authored or edited several works of historiography and general history. She co-authored Debating the Middle Ages:Issues and Readings (1998),The Making of the West (2022),and is the author of A Short History of the Middle Ages (2018) and Reading the Middle Ages (2018),all of which have been published in several revised editions.

Affective piety is most commonly described as a style of highly emotional devotion to the humanity of Jesus,particularly in his infancy and his death,and to the joys and sorrows of the Virgin Mary. It was a major influence on many varieties of devotional literature in late-medieval Europe,both in Latin and in the vernaculars. This practice of prayer,reading,and meditation was often cultivated through visualization and concentration on vivid images of scenes from the Bible,Saints' Lives,Virgin Mary,Christ and religious symbols,feeling from the result. These images could be either conjured up in people's minds when they read or heard poetry and other pieces of religious literature,or they could gaze on manuscript illuminations and other pieces of art as they prayed and meditated on the scenes depicted. In either case,this style of affective meditation asked the "viewer" to engage with the scene as if she or he were physically present and to stir up feelings of love,fear,grief,and/or repentance for sin.
