Julian of Norwich by Grace M Jantzen

Julian of Norwich, an anchoress of the 14th century, continues to attract much interest. Her life remains in many ways a mystery since she says nothing in her writing about the world in which she grew up, how she was educated or how she became an anchoress. This biography attempts not only to penetrate her theological ideas, but also to open up her world and her life. The result is an account of the life and thought of an extraordinary woman mystic whose insights into spiritual growth and wholeness are of universal and timely significance. In the new introduction to this edition, Grace Jantzen explores what it might mean to be an anchoress in postmodernity, and how reflections on Julian of Norwich and her desire for God can enable us to become the space of divine transformation.
