Overview

The essays in this book aim to provide an evaluation of this late 14th- and early 15th-century mystical writer's book of revelations, and to consider the construction of her narrative, its theological complexity, and its literary and intellectual context. The casebook features discussions ranging from genre to eschatology and gynaecology to diabology, reflecting both modern and comparative theory. Providing translations of all Middle English quotations, the volume includes a selective bibliography that aims to provide a guide to further reading.
