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.
