These phenomena concern not individuals in their solitude but interpersonal relations at a certain pitch of intensity, where the boundaries between persons seem to blur. Some of them are little known, others familiar but little studied. All raise tantalizing questions about the nature of persons in relationship. Why, for example, did the myth of the separable heart take such a firm hold in romance literature, from lovers who exchange hearts on parting to mystics who exchange hearts with Jesus? Why did Augustine represent his pedagogical ideal as a mutual indwelling of teacher and student? What special traits gave both saints and demoniacs their ability to read minds? Why were mothers who died in childbirth buried in unconsecrated ground? All these phenomena, diverse as they are, exemplify a kind of selfhood more permeable than we are used to imagining"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 335 - 360) and index. 505 0 $a Teacher and student: Shaping boys -- Saint and sinner: Reading minds -- Lovers: Exchanging hearts -- Mother and child: Giving birth -- GOD and the devil: Possessing souls. 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 650 0 $a Literature, Medieval $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Self (Philosophy) $z Europe $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $x History $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Self in literature. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations in literature. 650 0 $a Philosophy, Medieval. 650 0 $a History. 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977446 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977408 650 7 $a Literature, Medieval. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000151 650 7 $a Philosophy, Medieval. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061057 650 7 $a Self in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111462 650 7 $a Self (Philosophy) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111454 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Newman, Barbara, 1953- $t Permeable self. $d Philadelphia : University of Pennsylvania Press, [2021] $z 9780812299939 $w (OCoLC)1262373170 830 0 $a Middle Ages series. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011658.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DA1C1D4EEE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
