This book explores the spatial, material, and affective dimensions
of solitude in the late medieval and early modern periods, a
hitherto largely neglected topic. Its focus is on the dynamic
qualities of "space" and "place", which are here understood as
being shaped, structured, and imbued with meaning through both
social and discursive solitary practices such as reading, writing,
studying, meditating, and praying. Individual chapters investigate
the imageries and imaginaries of outdoor and indoor spaces and
places associated with solitude and its practices and examine the
ways in which the space of solitude was conceived of, imagined, and
represented in the arts and in literature, from about 1300 to about
1800. Contributors include Oskar Batschmann, Carla Benzan, Mette
Birkedal Bruun, Dominic E. Delarue, Karl A.E. Enenkel, Christine
Goettler, Agnes Guiderdoni, Christiane J. Hessler, Walter S.
Melion, Raphaele Preisinger, Bernd Roling, Paul Smith, Marie Theres
Stauffer, Arnold A. Witte, and Steffen Zierholz.
