Margery Kempe's Meditations : The Context of Medieval Devotional Literatures, Liturgy and Iconography Hardback
by Naoe Kukita Yoshikawa
Part of the Religion and Culture in the Middle Ages series
Hardback
Description
Ever since its rediscovery in 1934, "The Book of Margery Kempe" has generally been judged to be over-emotional and its structure regarded as at worst non-existent, at best naive.
Naoe Kukita Yoshikawa argues instead that the book unfolds a creative experience of memory as spiritual progress, and explores Margery's meditational experience in the context of visual and verbal iconography.
She provides a comprehensive analysis of Margery's meditative experience as it is structured in the book, paying particular attention to five major meditational experiences that influence her spiritual progress and develop a coherent theology.
