Zustand: as new. New York : Zone Books, 2001. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 280 pp. - The four studies in this book center on the Western obsession with the nature ofpersonal identity. Focusing on the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, but with an eye towardantiquity and the present, Caroline Walker Bynum explores the themes of metamorp…hosis and hybridityin genres ranging from poetry, folktales, and miracle collections to scholastic theology, devotionaltreatises, and works of natural philosophy. She argues that the obsession with boundary-crossing andotherness was an effort to delineate nature's regularities and to establish a strong sense ofpersonal identity, extending even beyond the grave. She examines historical figures such as Marie deFrance, Gerald of Wales, Bernard Clairvaux, Thomas Aquinas, and Dante, as well as modern fabulistssuch as Angela Carter, as examples of solutions to the perennial question of how the individual canboth change and remain constant. Addressing the fundamental question for historians--that ofchange--Bynum also explores the nature of history writing itself. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9781890951221. Keywords : HISTORY.
