Description: "The Christian dogma of the undividable unity of the soul is being questioned in Baroque anthropology by manifold evidence of psychic plurality. Whereas this leads to logical contradictions in philosophical terminology, contemporary metaphorics is able to depict the psychic as "manifold unity". In the concepts of the soul in Baroque poetry the study investigates the variants and particular conditions of this psychic "unity and diversity". The main focus is on poems in which the conception of the soul is delineated as space or clear spatial formation."--Publisher's website.
