Biography

Marjorie O'Rourke Boyle was born on October 4, 1943, in Hackensack, New Jersey, to oil painter Marjorie J. O'Rourke ( née McSorley) and to Paul O'Rourke, [1] [2] and raised in Middletown, Connecticut. [2] She got her BA (1965) at Georgian Court College and her MA (1967) at the University of St. Michael's College. [1] After working as a theology instructor at the University of Portland (1967-1969), she returned to St. Michael's to get her PhD in 1974; [1] her doctoral dissertation was titled The grammar of method: a theological study of Erasmus' renaissance, especially as manifested in his Ratio seu methodus compendio perveniendi ad veram theologiam . [3] She later worked as a research associate at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies (1977-1978). [1] By 1997, she was working as an independent scholar. [4]

Boyle's academic specialty is religious rhetoric, particularly in the Middle Ages and Rennaissance. [4] Three of the books she has written are focused on the Renaissance humanist scholar Erasmus: Erasmus on Language and Method in Theology (1977), Christening Pagan Mysteries (1981), and Rhetoric and Reform (1983). [5] In 1979, she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship [6] for a "study of the humanist nature of Erasmus's controversy with Luther". [1] She later published the following books: Petrarch's Genius (1991), which its publisher said was the first book to depict Petrarch as a theologian; [5] Divine Domesticity (1996), which focuses on the idea of the divine indwelling; [7] Loyola's Acts (1997), which suggests that The Autobiography of St. Ignatius is epideictic; [8] and Senses of Touch (1998), which explores the rhetorical nature of the human hand. [9]

Outside of academia, Boyle worked briefly as a news editor for Toronto newspaper Daily Commercial News (1975-1976). [1]

Boyle lives in Toronto. [10]
