Seminar: “Continuing Work on Spiritual Confinement”
Millie Newis (Mellon Fellow, PIMS)
Laurence K. Shook Common Room, PIMS
This talk presents some recent progress on my monograph project, The Cell and the Soul: Enduring Spiritual Confinement in the Middle Ages. It explores how medieval texts and their readers engage with affective experiences of the cell-bound life — especially in relation to confined space, prolonged time, and solitude.
