One of the most important medieval writers studied in historical
and literary context. Julian of Norwich, the fourteenth/early
fifteenth-century anchoress and mystic, is one of the most
important and best-known figures of the Middle Ages. Her
Revelations, intense visions of the divine, have been widely
studied and read; the first known writings of an English woman,
their influence extends over theology and literature. However, many
aspects of both her life and thought remain enigmatic. This
exciting new collection offers a comprehensive, accessible coverage
of the key aspects of debate surrounding Julian. It places the
author within a wide range of contemporary literary, social,
historical and religious contexts, and also provides a wealth of
new insightsinto manuscript traditions, perspectives on her writing
and ways of interpreting it, building on the work of many of the
most active and influential researchers within Julian studies, and
including the fruits of the most recent,ground-breaking findings.
It will therefore be a vital companion for all of Julian's readers
in the twenty-first century. Dr Liz Herbert McAvoy is Senior
Lecturer in Gender in English and Medieval Studies at Swansea
University. Contributors: Denise M. Baker, Alexandra Barratt,
