Thesis title:
My research asserts the particular value of devotional works for evidencing experiences of selfhood, interiority and shared identity. Representations of the deity in these texts construct an implied human subject in the image of its creator, and their prescription of correct devotional behaviours indicates contemporary ideals surrounding inner life, physical behaviour, and social interaction. I am interested in examining the ways in which these late medieval explorations of the human subject both contextualise and interrogate subsequent conceptions of selfhood.
