The pastoral solitary: contemplative life and the care of souls in the works of Richard Rolle
Published 2021“…Whereas past scholarship has tended to see the voice of Rolle’s texts as the projection of the historical Rolle’s own personality and emotion, I argue that he self-consciously adopts a wide range of rhetorical personas to instruct and model devotion for his readers, drawing on an exegetical understanding of Scripture as an encyclopaedia of different voices. While pastoral literature has attracted little attention in literary scholarship given its conventionality and simplicity, Rolle’s multi-faceted experimentation with different voices emerges from his pastoral purposes, producing one of the most creative and sophisticated oeuvres of work in the late Middle Ages.…”
