Description: ISBN10: 0520209370, ISBN13: 9780520209374, [publisher: Berkeley: University of California Press] Hardcover First Edition Boyle, Marjorie O'Rourke. Loyola's acts: the rhetoric of the self. First edition. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1997. Hardback, VG+ in unclipped dustjacket with mild shelfwear to top edge. Two-tone green boards with silver lettering to spine. Binding strong and tight. xv, 274pp., contents clean and bright. This revisionist review of Ignatius Loyola argues that his "autobiography" - until now taken to be a literal, documentary account - is in reality a work of rhetoric, a moral narrative that exploits the techniques of fiction. In radically reinterpreting this canonical text, the main source of information about the founder of the largest and most powerful religious order in Roman Catholicism, Boyle paints a vivid picture of Loyola's world. She surveys rhetorical and artistic theory, religious iconography, everyday custom, and an array of scenes and subjects: from curiosity, to codes of honour, to the holy places of Spain, the significance of apparitions and flying serpents. Written in the tradition of Renaissance studies on individualism, this work engages current interest in autobiography and the history of private life. The book also provides a heuristic for interpreting a range of texts of the Christian tradition. Finally, this secular treatment of a canonical saint provides insights into how a prestigious 16th-century figure like Loyola understood himself.
