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.

这项研究提供了第一个完整的调查上帝在14世纪后期的主观经验的重要性，证明了通过本地化的研究文本从约克郡。14世纪的作品中所阐述的自我和上帝的不可分割性，使得对神性的文学表征的充分理解，对于理解中世纪后期的自我、自主和内在体验至关重要。这些都是主体性研究的关键组成部分。正如Aers（1992）所强调的，对中世纪主体性的研究必须优先考虑当代基督教。然而，最近没有任何研究充分探讨这一关键领域（Spearing，2002; Lawton，2017）。约克郡的灵修文本表明了一种蓬勃发展的知识文化，但在学术界仍然受到低估。我对约克郡的密切关注解决了这一差距。我将仔细研究几个研究不足的手稿，包括MS阿伦德尔507和MS哈雷1022，这是由汉娜（2003年）确定为特别需要关注。我的工作解决两个关键问题：如何上帝的文学表现反映自己的概念？约克郡的文本如何呈现、表现和暗示与上帝的关系？本研究共分五章：1.根据当代奥古斯丁认识论对阿伦德尔女士507（c.1350-c.1400）的虔诚论文的审查。这些论文强调了自我和上帝的不可分割性。讨论的北方激情（C14日至15日）和阿尔昆的布道盖的沃里克（C14日）。这些文本构建、预测和优先考虑主观反应的关键方法将被检验，将现有的关于基督情感文学表征的工作（Woolf，1962; Singleton，2007; Shoemaker，2011）与主观性研究对话。《MS哈雷1022》（c.1390-c.1425）中自我和上帝的定位分析。本文将从认知诗学的角度考察《圣经》中的语音、隐喻、转喻和指示语等关键语言特征，运用认知心理学的工具强调读者对上帝的情感体验.探索与上帝的理想化的集体关系，在外行人的弥撒书（C14日）和北方布道周期（C14日），评估劳顿（2017）的主张，公共表演的中心地位，以中世纪的主观经验。在理查德·罗尔（C14 - 15）的抒情诗中，对抒情声音在表现自我与上帝之间关系中的作用的研究。该项目的前12个月将包括彻底的文献回顾，对主要文本的密切研究和档案访问。第一章和第三章将首先讨论，因为它们的前提必须根据手稿中的证据进行检验，需要为此作出特别协商安排。随后的章节将需要四到五个月的时间来写，这取决于必要的第二次阅读的量。随着学术机构越来越关注性、性别、种族和社会特权的多样化体验，我对各种可能的主观性的开放态度说明了中世纪主义在当代的重要性。试图理解现代生活经验必须考虑主观性在更广泛的知识和本体论的背景下。对中世纪文本的审视促进了对人类主体性的新视角，对自我的体验开放，从根本上质疑围绕个性和自主性的主导叙事。
