This is a wide-ranging collection of writings by and about religious women presenting some of the most original and compelling literature of the middle ages. Highlights of this edition include Marguerite Porete's allegorical poem "The Mirror of Simple Souls", a dialogue between Love and Soul that was condemned as heretical; an account by a male ecclesiastic of Christine the Astonishing, who was resurrected at her own funeral; and, the revelations received by Bridget of Sweden, the first woman to found a religious order.
Elizabeth Spearing holds a D.Phil from the University of York. She has translated Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love for Penguin Classics.
