Renevey's dissertation argues that self-analysis and the investigation of self through mystic and religious thought and writings is not a modern trend. He shows how 12th-century commentators, such as William of St Thierry and St Bernard of Clairvaux, used the material of the Song of Songs to experiment with a language of love to express `their mystical experiences and the discovery of their own selves'. The second part of the study traces the development of this experimentation in the commentaries of Richard Rolle, a 14th-century hermit.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Language, Self and Love offers a unique insight into the development of the language of interiority in the medieval literature inspired by the Song of Songs and its commentaries. It traces the evolution of a medieval identity in the process of self-fashioning and, in showing the importance of mystical writing for understanding medieval subjectivity, suggests that the 'self' is not the early modern invention it is often claimed to be. Denis Renevey discusses the correspondences between the discourse of love in the Song of Songs and the language of mysticism in the writings of William of St Thierry and Richard Rolle, where the self is described in its attempts at establishing a direct relationship with God. He also shows how the textual strategies offered in mystical writing for the use of female recipients engage with questions of misogyny and the relationship between Latin and vernacular cultures.
