Two Middle English Prayer Cycles by Ben Parsons
This book is the first critical edition of two fascinating but overlooked devotional texts. Each shines its own light on medieval faith. The Holkham Prayers and Meditations (ca.1410) is a rare example of female authorship, written by an unnamed woman to guide areligious sustir.Simon Appulby's Fruyte of Redempcyon (1514) is more popular in aim, composed by one of England's last anchorites to serve his urban community. Both texts are accompanied by extensive notes and introductory essays to aid students and specialists alike.
Ben Parsons is associate professor at the University of Leicester and has published widely on various aspects of medieval and early modern culture, including popular devotion, comedy, folklore, violence, and education.
