This is the first literary study of the career of Richard Rolle (d.
1349), a Yorkshire hermit and mystic who was one of the most
widely-read English writers of the late Middle Ages. Nicholas
Watson proposes a new chronology of Rolle's writings, and offers
the first literary analyses of a number of his works. He shows how
Rolle's career, as a writer of passionate religious works in Latin
and later in English, has as its principal focus the establishment
of his own spiritual authority. The book also addresses wider
issues, suggesting a new way of looking at mystical writing in
general, and challenging the prevailing view of the relationship
between medieval and Renaissance attitudes to authors and
authority.
