  • The Cambridge Companion to Medieval English Mysticism

    Edited by Samuel Fanous, Vincent Gillespie ...

Taking the opposite view, this book shows how individual mystical experience, such as those recorded by Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe, is rooted in, nourished and framed by the ... Read more
