Julian of Norwich

Contains both the short text, which is mainly an account of the 'showings' themselves and Julian's initial interpretation of their meaning, and the long text, completed some twenty years later, which moves from vision to a daringly speculative theology.

"This edition of Julian of Norwich, 'Showing of Love', studies the Brigittine-Syon Abbey-related manuscripts: British Library, Amherst; Westminster Cathedral; Paris Bibliothèque Nationale texts; and the careful copies made by English Benedictine nuns at Cambrai in the Sloane manuscripts now in the British Library, and the Margaret Gascoigne/Bridget More and Barbara Constable, O.S.B., fragments" -- Front flap of book jacket.

Presents a comprehensive analysis of the works of fourteenth-century English author, Julian of Norwich designed for undergraduate students, and contains authoritative texts and critical essays.
