My project examines how human souls were represented outside their bodies in England during the period 400 to 1200. There is a vast corpus of stories and visions of disembodied souls in the Lives of saints composed during this period. For reasons we are yet to fully understand, the writers of these saints' Lives described these disembodied souls in various ways. My project analyses these examples of disembodied souls in Latin and Old English texts to reveal how the disembodied soul was imagined, how the soul and the body were understood in relation to one another, and how the phenomenon of disembodiment was believed to work.

我的项目考察了400年至1200年期间，英国人的灵魂是如何在身体之外表现出来的。在这一时期创作的《圣徒的生活》中，有大量的关于脱离肉体的灵魂的故事和异象。出于我们还没有完全理解的原因，这些圣徒的生活的作家描述了这些脱离肉体的灵魂在各种方式。我的项目分析了拉丁文和古英语文本中这些脱离肉体的灵魂的例子，以揭示脱离肉体的灵魂是如何被想象出来的，灵魂和身体是如何被理解为彼此相关的，以及脱离肉体的现象是如何被认为是起作用的。
