Julian of Norwich's Legacy : Medieval Mysticism and Post-Medieval Reception PDF
Edited by S. Salih, D. Baker
Part of the The New Middle Ages series
- Information
Description
Julian of Norwich the best-known of the medieval mystics today.
The text of her Revelation has circulated continually since the fifteenth century, but the twentieth century saw a massive expansion of her popularity.
Theological or literary-historical studies of Julian may remark in passing on her popularity, but none have attempted a detailed study of her reception.
This collection fills that gap: it outlines the full reception history from the extant manuscripts to the present day, looking at Julian in devotional cultures, in modernist poetry and present-day popular literature, and in her iconography in Norwich, both as a pilgrimage site and a tourist attraction.
