In this book, Deborah Frick analyses medieval visionary writings by Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe in comparison to seventeenth-century visionary writings by authors such as Anna Trapnel, Mary Carey, Anne Wentworth and Katherine Chidley, in order to investigate how these women authorised themselves in their writings and what topoi they use to find a voice and place of their own. This comparison, furthermore, and the strikingly similar topoi that are used by the female visionaries not only allows to question and examine topics such as authority, authorship, images of voice and body; it also breaks down preconceived and artificial boundaries and definitions.LettreGender; Authority; Authorship; Visionary Writings; Voice; Literature; British Studies; Literary Studies;Authority.Authorship.British Studies.Literary Studies.Literature.Visionary Writings.Voice.Gender; Authority; Authorship; Visionary Writings; Voice; Literature; British Studies; Literary Studies;Frick DeborahUniversität Zürich, Schweizaut1204672Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)fndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910485578703321Authority and Authorship in Medieval and Seventeenth Century Women's Visionary Writings2780281UNINA
