Julian of Norwich, the famous fourteenth-century anchoress, was
seriously ill and preparing for death when she received a series of
16 visions of the passion of Christ. As a result of these visions,
she dedicated the rest of her life to solitary prayer, and wrote
down the content of the visions, which became the first book in
English known to have been written by a woman. The first vision
includes her famous meditation on the hazelnut, which for her
becomes an image of God's love because God made it, loves it and
keeps it. 'The most original and revolutionary reading of Christ's
gospel since that of St Paul.' (A. N. Wilson, from the
Introduction)
