Through her analyses of the variety of ways in which medieval spirituality was deliberately and actively carried forward to the early modern period, Warren underscores both continuities and revisions that challenge conventional distinctions between medieval and early modern culture. Drawing on the philosophical writings of Stanley Cavell and Karl Morrison, Warren illuminates a number of medieval and early modern texts, including St. Birgitta of Sweden's Revelations, St. Catherine of Siena's Dialogue, Julian of Norwich's Showings, devotional anthologies created by early modern English nuns in exile, the prophetic and autobiographical texts of Anna Trapnel, and the writings of Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza."--BOOK JACKET.Reformations.Christian womenReligious lifeEnglandHistorySpiritualityEnglandHistoryChristian womenReligious lifeEuropeHistorySpiritualityEuropeHistoryWomen authors, EnglishReligious lifeEuropeHistoryChristian literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismHuman bodyReligious aspectsChristianityHistoryEnglandChurch historyEuropeChurch historyElectronic books.Christian womenReligious lifeHistory.SpiritualityHistory.Christian womenReligious lifeHistory.SpiritualityHistory.Women authors, EnglishReligious lifeHistory.Christian literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Human bodyReligious aspectsChristianityHistory.274.1/05082Warren Nancy Bradley922706MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463371703321The embodied Word2070520UNINA
