Taking the opposite view, this book shows how individual mystical experience, such as those recorded by Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe, is rooted in, nourished and framed by the richly distinctive spiritual contexts of the period. Arranged by sections corresponding to historical developments, it explores the primary vernacular texts, their authors, and the contexts that formed the expression and exploration of mystical experiences in medieval England. This is an excellent, insightful introduction to medieval English mystical texts, their authors, readers and communities. Featuring a guide to further reading and a chronology, the Companion offers an accessible overview for students of literature, history and theology. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aMysticism$zGreat Britain$xHistory$yMiddle Ages, 600-1500 607 $aEngland$2swd 607 $aEnglisch$2swd 608 $aAufsatzsammlung. 615 0$aMysticism$xHistory 676 $a248.2209410902 686 $aHH 4054$2rvk 702 $aFanous$b Samuel$f1962- 702 $aGillespie$b Vincent$f1954- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996211772003316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to medieval English mysticism$92493841 997 $aUNISA
