This is a new account of the late-fourteenth-century mystic and
pilgrim Margery Kempe. Kempe, who had 14 children, travelled all
over Europe and recorded a series of unusual events and religious
visions in her work The Book of Margery Kempe, which is often
called the first autobiography in the English language. Anthony
Bale charts her life, and tells her story through the places,
relationships, objects and experiences that influenced her.
Extensive quotation from Kempe's Book, and generous illustration,
gives fascinating insight into the life of a medieval woman.
Margery Kempe is situated within the religious controversies of her
time, and her religious visions and later years put in context.
Lastly there is the story of the rediscovery, in the 1930s, of the
unique manuscript of her autobiography.
