Daughter of a mayor of King's Lynn, wife of a burgess there and
mother of fourteen children, Margery Kempe (c. 1373-post 1438) was
also a religious mystic and hysteric, who dictated her
'autobiography' to a scribe at the end of her life. In this history
of her life, Anthony Goodman examines "The Book", to reconstruct as
much of her conventional biography as the materials allow.
Including her spiritual experiences, but focusing most particularly
on her day-to-day life, he builds an intriguing picture of
bourgeois society in late medieval Lynn, and the wider world of
late medieval towns in England and Europe more generally.
