Thanks In Large Part To Franciscans And Jesuits, Lay Urban Elitesboth Men And Womengained Access To Spiritual Practices Whose Goal Was To Enhance Belief And Create New Selves. Using Michel Foucaults Writing On The Hermeneutics Of The Self, And The French Philosophers Intuition That The Early Modern Period Was A Moment Of Transition In The Configurations Of The Self, Sluhovsky Offers A Broad Panorama Of Spiritual And Devotional Techniques Of Selfformation And Subjectivation.
