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 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 insights
into 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.
