Engaging in dialogue with Brian Stock's contributions to the history of literacy, the essays initiate new conversations about models of interpretation, habits of reading, textual communities, and forms of self-writing. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first group of essays, featuring Seth Lerer, Paul Saenger, and Sarah Spence, not only reflects upon the influence of Stock's \u003ci\u003eAugustine the Reader\u003c\/i\u003e, but also examines Augustine's innovative handling of texts within the literary culture of Late Antiquity. The following group, authored by John Magee, Constant J. Mews, and Marcia L. Colish, responds to \u003ci\u003eThe Implications of Literacy\u003c\/i\u003e by examining ways that the reinterpretation of inherited texts can generate philosophical schools, social reformists, and textual communities. Subsequent contributions by Willemien Otten and Sarah Powrie investigate textual expressions of created nature and thereby build upon the work of \u003ci\u003eMyth and Science in the Twelfth Century\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe last three essays by Gur Zak, Jane Tylus, and Catherine Conybeare explore Augustine's enduring influence beyond the medieval period, as evidenced in the writings of Giovanni Conversini, Catherine of Sienna, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. In so doing, these authors advance the frameworks of \u003ci\u003eAfter Augustine\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eListening for the Text\u003c\/i\u003e. Personal tributes by Aviad Kleinberg and Natalie Zemon Davis bookend the volume, with each author recollecting fragments of conversations that have shaped a decades-long friendship with the honoree. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Powrie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0888448376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780888448378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PIMS Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Sarah Powrie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44410403684607,"sku":"9780888448378","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2de18815-5c51-4d19-973f-9ff8f4ae80e4.jpg?v=1697536090","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/textual-communities-textual-selves-sarah-powrie-9780888448378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
