The widespread view that 'mystical' activity in the Middle Ages was
a rarefied enterprise of a privileged spiritual elite has led to
isolation of the medieval 'mystics' into a separate, narrowly
defined category. Taking the opposite view, this book shows how
individual mystical experience, such as those recorded by Julian of
Norwich and Margery Kempe, is rooted in, nourished and framed by
the richly distinctive spiritual contexts of the period. Arranged
by sections corresponding to historical developments, it explores
the primary vernacular texts, their authors, and the contexts that
formed the expression and exploration of mystical experiences in
medieval England. This is an excellent, insightful introduction to
medieval English mystical texts, their authors, readers and
communities. Featuring a guide to further reading and a chronology,
the Companion offers an accessible overview for students of
literature, history and theology.
