This edition brings together for the first time key texts
representing the writings of the medieval English mystics. The
texts have been newly edited from early manuscripts, and are
supplemented with textual and explanatory notes and a glossary. The
book focuses on five major authors, Richard Rolle, Walter Hilton,
the anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing, Dame Julian of
Norwich, and Margery Kempe. Shorter works are presented whole,
where possible, and accompanied by extracts from the mystics'
longer works; extracts from contemporary translations into English
are also included to illustrate the reception of European mystical
texts in later medieval England. Overall, this volume makes
accessible some of the finest writing by English contemplatives and
visionaries of the Middle Ages.
