Publisher's Synopsis

Julian of Norwich was one of the most notable and influential Christian mystics of fourteenth-century England, renowned for her theological writing detailing her visions of divinity. In May of 1373, Julian experienced a number of vivid, dynamic, and even frightening spiritual visions on what she thought would be her deathbed. Of the two versions of the text that were made-the earlier, shorter version, and the longer version, written twenty years after the event-Georgia Ronan Crampton's edition focuses on the longer version, which contains far more of Julian's analyses and meditations about her experience. Presenting the full-length longer version, passages from the shorter version, and an account of a visit by Julian's fellow mystic Margery Kempe, Crampton's edition is a must-have for any medieval literature classroom, offering scholars and students alike the chance to read of Julian's visions in her own Middle English.
