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. 410 0$aLettre 606 $aGender; Authority; Authorship; Visionary Writings; Voice; Literature; British Studies; Literary Studies; 610 $aAuthority. 610 $aAuthorship. 610 $aBritish Studies. 610 $aLiterary Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aVisionary Writings. 610 $aVoice. 615 4$aGender; Authority; Authorship; Visionary Writings; Voice; Literature; British Studies; Literary Studies; 700 $aFrick$b Deborah$pUniversita?t Zu?rich, Schweiz$4aut$01204672 712 02$aSwiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910485578703321 996 $aAuthority and Authorship in Medieval and Seventeenth Century Women's Visionary Writings$92780281 997 $aUNINA
