Reviews
In ten varied and useful essays gathered for this volume, former students and colleagues celebrate the life's work of the wonderful Denise N. Baker, whose sensitive and incisive scholarship is always worth close attention. Ranging over many topics and with particular attention to the writings of Chaucer, Julian of Norwich, and William Langland, this book is a fitting tribute to a scholar whose clarity of thought continues to generate new directions for study, some of which are aptly pursued here in her honor.--Cristina Maria Cervone, professor of English, University of Memphis Over the past fifty years, Denise N. Baker has produced a stream of studies, books, and editions that have had a shaping influence on Middle English scholarship, especially through her transformative work on the fourteenth-century visionary theologian Julian of Norwich. New Directions in Medieval Mystical and Devotional Literature not only makes a fitting tribute to a beloved scholar and teacher; it constitutes a significant contribution to the field in its own right. The essays in this beautifully presented book will be essential reading for anyone interested in late-medieval vernacular theology and its reception, both in England and beyond.--Nicholas Watson, professor of English, Harvard University
