Product Description

Product Description

Carefully edited with the undergraduate reader in mind, this Norton Critical Edition includes a clear introduction focusing on Julian of Norwich's difficult theology that prepares students to understand the complex, controversial themes of the text. The text used is a Middle English edition, based on the Paris manuscript (1580-1650) of the long text. Included are contemporary texts that help students better understand Julian's originality. Interpretations that address the themes and style of the Showings are provided by Sandra McEntire, Lynn Staley, B.A. Windeatt and David Aers, among others. A selected bibliography is also included.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent edition of a medieval woman's theological writing, 4 Mar 2009
By Lisa K. Schaffnit "mmm plague and pestilence" (Aberystwyth, Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Julian of Norwich was a 14th century mystic, and one of the first medieval women to write in the English language. This edition of her revelations, or "showings", is an excellent tool for the career medievalist, student or just those who are interested in women's writing and the Middle Ages. It provides excellent glossing of the Middle English text, making the sometimes archaic language accessible to those with different levels of experience in medieval English language. It also provides background information which could be the basis for further study.

This book will also pique the curiosity of those interested in theology and medieval Christian thought. Julian wrote extensively about the love of God and divine grace. Her writings show a "middle way" between sin and extremism which is as relavant to today's Christians as it was 600 years ago.
