"Wright's approach to affective experience was part of a larger intellectual project addressing the complex relationship between the physical and the spiritual, the body and the soul, in both private and public domains. [...] Wright's understanding of the passions was both more particular and more complicated than has often been acknowledged, highlighting the importance of accounting for both local contexts and the influence of multiple intellectual frameworks (medical, religious, political and philosophical) in the study of modern emotion." (Quoted from Erin Sullivan's The Passions of Thomas Wright: Renaissance Emotion across Body and Soul, Oxford University Press, 2015.)
