This volume includes the works of three Englishwomen: Julian of
Norwich (1342-c.1416) whose Revelations were first printed in 1670;
Margery Kempe (c.1373-c.1438) from whose Boke of Marjorie Kempe a
few extracts were printed in 1501 and again in 1512; Juliana
Berners (possibly c.1388) whose treatise on hawkyng and huntyng was
first printed in 1486, with a second edition containing an
additional treatise on fishing. The writings of these three women
are brought together in this book because they are amongst the
earliest female writers in the English language, they each
reflected everyday lives, and reveal with passion, insight and
compassion spiritualities not separate from the physical world but
entwined with it. Julian of Norwich brings contemplative insights
of God's love to a sinful and suffering humanity; Margery Kempe
actively weeps for her own sin and the sins and suffering of the
world and Juliana Berners lives actively with expertise and
serenity in the world of nature.
