The Shewings of Julian of Norwich [Paperback]

This fascinating first-person account of the visions experienced by the anchoress Julian of Norwich in May of 1373 is remarkable for its vivid prose and as an example both of early autobiographical writing in the vernacular and of a spiritual document. This practical edition includes a gloss, an introduction, notes, and a glossary, making it valuable to students of Middle English and medieval mysticism alike.Acknowledgements Introduction Select Bibliography The Shewings of Julian of NorwichNotes Appendix A: Two Passages from the Short Text Appendix B: Margery Kempe's Visit to Julian of Norwich GlossaryGeorgia Crampton is a Professor Emerita of English at Portland State University.
