This four-year project housed at the Austrian Academy of Sciences is being undertaken by Carolina Cupane and Christodoulos Papavarnavas and has a twofold aim: first, to examine how places of confinement and seclusion are depicted in saints’ Lives on a literary-narrative level; second, to study how the protagonists, predominantly male and female ascetics and monastics, experience their stay in such places and to what extent this experience affects both the development of the narrative and the protagonists’ character, especially their spiritual progress.
