'So I will write in English, pressing new words from this beautiful
plain language spoken by all. Not courtly French to introduce God
politely. Not church Latin to construct arguments. English to show
it as it is. Even though it is not safe to do so.' From the author
of Miles to Go before I Sleep comes I, Julian, the account of a
medieval woman who dares to tell her own story, battling grief,
plague, the church and societal expectations to do so. Compelled by
the powerful visions she had when close to death, Julian finds a
way to live a life of freedom - as an anchoress, bricked up in a
small room on the side of a church - and to write of what she has
seen. The result, passed from hand to hand, is the first book to be
written by a woman in English. Tender, luminous, meditative and
powerful, Julian writes of her love for God, and God's love for the
whole of creation. 'All shall be well, and all shall be well, and
all manner of thing shall be well.' 'Written with profound insight,
spiritual and psychological, and a rare sensitivity to the everyday
world of the fourteenth century, I, Julian is a brilliantly
illuminating companion to one of the greatest works of spiritual
writing in English.' Rowan Williams, Magdalene College, Cambridge
