Texts and the Self in the Twelfth Century analyses key
twelfth-century Latin and vernacular texts which articulate a
subjective, often autobiographical, stance. The contention is that
the self forged in medieval literature could not have come into
existence without both the gap between Latinity and the vernacular
and a shift in perspective towards a visual and spatial
orientation. This results in a self which is not an agent that will
act on the outside world like the Renaissance self, but, rather,
one which inhabits a potential, middle ground, or 'space of
agency', explained here partly in terms of object-relations theory.
