Product Description

Review

"Barry Windeatt's fine anthology of late Middle English mystical writings exemplifies in an almost startling manner what might be designated the central dilemma of modern spiritual scholarship." Christianity and Literature

"The texts are newly edited from the manuscripts and are supplemented with texual and explanatory notes and a glossary, making available some of the best work of the English mystics." Manuscripta


Product Description

This edition brings together for the first time key texts representing the writings of the medieval English mystics. The texts have been newly edited from early manuscripts, and are supplemented with textual and explanatory notes and a glossary. The book focuses on five major authors, Richard Rolle, Walter Hilton, the anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing, Dame Julian of Norwich, and Margery Kempe. Shorter works are presented whole, where possible, and accompanied by extracts from the mystics’ longer works; extracts from contemporary translations into English are also included to illustrate the reception of European mystical texts in later medieval England. Overall, this volume makes accessible some of the finest writing by English contemplatives and visionaries of the Middle Ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stimulating, 24 May 2002
By A Customer
This book evolved out of a series of lectures and it shows, but in a good sense. The text is very vibrant and vivid. You can feel the interest that Professor Davies has in his subject, and it is a wonderful introduction to medieval Wales in particular, and the rather new issue of interrelations between England and the other nations in the British Isles, taken as a whole rather than individually. He examines what the experiences of Wales, Ireland, and to some extent Scotland, were when faced with an expanding English power. This is one of the best books on the medieval period that I have read for a while, and I highly recommend it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening, 26 Aug 2000
By Mr. C. Newman "bravebaldrick" (Gloucester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book gives a real insight into the ways that the Norman/English Kings began to colonize Wales, Ireland and Scotland. The author strives to point out that military conquest was not the only form of domination. A must for anyone with an interest in British Medieval History.
