Description
Julian of Norwich (1342-c.1416) is the earliest author writing in English who can be identified as a woman. This edition presents in the original language both the shorter and longer versions of her book about her revelations of May 1373, setting them in parallel for ease of comparison. A substantial introduction provides up-to-date information about Julian's life and context, and the background to her famously optimistic revelations, including her understandingthat Christ is our mother. This is the most comprehensive and definitive edition of this landmark text in the history of women's writing in English.
