Julian of Norwich's Legacy: Medieval Mysticism and Post-Medieval Reception

Julian of Norwich's Legacy: Medieval Mysticism and Post-Medieval Reception

Denise N. Baker
4.5/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
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.
