Embodied Word

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of female spirituality and English religious cultures from 1350 to 1700, the book delves into the continuity and transformation of medieval spiritual practices into the early modern era. Highlighting figures such as Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe, it examines how individual divine encounters, particularly those shaped by gender, influenced broader socio-historical contexts. The author also analyzes the impact of Spanish women on English identity and the role of gender in textual representations, revealing the complexities of contested orthodoxies.
