This research provides the first full-length enquiry into the importance of God in late fourteenth-century experiences of subjectivity, evidenced through a localised study of texts from Yorkshire. The inextricability of self and God articulated in fourteenth-century works makes a full understanding of literary representations of divinity central to comprehending later medieval experiences of selfhood, autonomy and inwardness. These are key constituents of subjectivity studies. As Aers (1992) emphasises, enquiry into medieval subjectivity must prioritise contemporary Christianity. Yet no recent work fully explores this key area (Spearing, 2002; Lawton, 2017).The devotional texts of Yorkshire are indicative of a thriving intellectual culture, yet remain underappreciated in scholarship. My close regional focus on Yorkshire addresses this gap. I will scrutinise several under-researched manuscripts, including MS Arundel 507 and MS Harley 1022, which are identified by Hanna (2003) as particularly needful of attention.My work addresses two key questions: How do literary representations of God reflect conceptions of theself? How do Yorkshire texts present, perform and imply relationships with God? The study will consist offive chapters:1. Examination of the devotional treatises of MS Arundel 507 (c.1350-c.1400) in light of contemporaryAugustinian epistemology. These treatises exemplify the inseparability of self and God asserted here.2. Discussion of The Northern Passion (C14th-15th) and Alquin's Sermon to Guy of Warwick (C14th). Thekey methods whereby these texts construct, anticipate and prioritise subjective responses will beexamined, bringing existing work on affective literary representations of Christ (Woolf, 1962; Singleton,2007; Shoemaker, 2011) into dialogue with subjectivity studies.3. Analysis of the positioning of self and God in MS Harley 1022 (c.1390-c.1425). Key linguistic featuressuch as voice, metaphor, metonymy and deixis in will be examined from a cognitive-poetic perspective,using the tools of cognitive psychology to emphasise affective readerly experiences of God.4. An exploration of idealised collective relationships with God in The Lay Folks' Mass Book (C14th) andThe Northern Homily Cycle (C14th), evaluating Lawton's (2017) assertion of the centrality of publicperformance to medieval experiences of subjectivity.5. Examination of the role of lyric voice in performing relationships between self and God in the the lyricsof Richard Rolle (C14th-15th).The first twelve months of the project will involve a thorough literature review, close work on primary texts, and archive visits. Chapters one and three will be addressed first, as their premises must be tested against evidence from manuscripts for which special consultation arrangements need to be made. The subsequent chapters will take either four or five months to write, depending on the volume of necessarysecondary reading. As academic institutions pay increasing attention to diverse experiences of sexuality, gender, race and societal privilege, my open-minded approach to a full range of possible subjectivities illustrates the contemporary importance of medievalism. Attempts to understand modern lived experiences must consider subjectivity within a broader intellectual and ontological context. Scrutiny of medieval texts facilitates a fresh perspective on human subjectivity, open to experiences of selfhood which radically question dominant narratives surrounding individuality and autonomy.

这项研究提供了对上帝在14世纪末的主观性体验中的重要性的首次全长调查，这是通过对约克郡文本的本地研究证明的。在十四世纪作品中表达的自我和上帝的不疏忽性使人们对神的文学表现有充分的理解，以理解后来的中世纪自我，自主和内在的经历。这些是主观研究的关键组成部分。正如艾尔斯（Aers）（1992）强调的那样，对中世纪主观性的调查必须优先考虑当代基督教。然而，最近的工作还没有充分探索这一关键领域（Spearing，2002; Lawton，2017年）。约克郡的奉献文本表明了蓬勃发展的知识文化，但在奖学金中仍未得到充分认识。我对约克郡的密切关注的重点解决了这一差距。我将仔细检查一些研究不足的手稿，包括Arundel 507女士和Harley 1022，这些手稿被Hanna（2003）确定为特别需要关注。约克郡的文本如何出现，表现并暗示与上帝的关系？这项研究将构成有意义的章节：1。鉴于当代的认识论，对Arundel 507女士（C.1350-C.1400）的灵修论文的审查。这些论文说明了自我和上帝在这里断言的不可分割性。2。讨论北方激情（C14th-15th）和Alquin向Warwick的盖伊（C14th）讲道。这些文本将构建，预期和优先考虑主观反应的方法将进行审查，从而将现有的作品带入基督的情感文学代表（Woolf，1962; Singleton，2007; Shoemaker，2011）与主观研究对话。3。在哈雷女士1022（C.1390-C.1425）中对自我和上帝定位的分析。将使用认知心理学的工具来强调上帝的情感读者体验4。在外行人的群众书（C14）和北部霍利周期（C14th）中对理想化的集体关系的探索，评估了劳顿（Lawton）（2017年）对中世纪主观性经验的中心地位的主张。5。在理查德·罗尔（Richard Rolle）的歌词（C14th-15th）中，考察抒情声音在自我与上帝之间的关系中的作用。该项目的前十二个月将涉及详尽的文献综述，对主要文本的仔细工作和档案访问。第一和第三章将首先解决，因为必须根据需要进行特殊咨询安排的手稿的证据进行测试。随后的章节将需要四到五个月的时间来写作，具体取决于必要的读书量。随着学术机构越来越关注性，性别，种族和社会特权的各种经历，我对各种可能的主观性的开放态度的态度说明了中世纪主义的当代重要性。尝试了解现代生活经验的尝试必须在更广泛的智力和本体论背景下考虑主观性。对中世纪文本的审查促进了人们对人类主观性的新看法，对自我的经历开放，从根本上质疑围绕个性和自主权的主导叙事。
