Margery Kempe's autobiography engages the modern reader with its richly textured images of late-medieval England--its town life, customs, means of travel, dress,food, and, most notably, its observations of the religious rituals that prevailed in the author's lifetime (ca. 1373 ca. 1440). Lynn Staley's new translation does not modernize; rather, it stays as close to the original Middle English as possible without sound-ing archaic. The text is accompanied by explanatory annota-tions, a map of medieval England, and a Kempe lexicon.
"Contexts" collects primary readings chosen to inform readers about late-medieval religious authority, mysticism, and expres-sions of worship. Included are excerpts from The Constitutions
of Thomas Arundel, Meditations on the Life of Christ, The Shew-ings of Julian of Norwich, The Book of Saint Bride, and The Life of Marie d'Oignies by Jacques de Vitry.
"Criticism" includes nine important interpretations of The Book of Margery Kempe, chosen to engage student readers and stimulate classroom discussion. Clarissa W. Atldnson, Lynn Sta-ley, Karma Lochrie, David Aers, Kathleen Ashley, Gall McMur-ray Gibson, Sarah Beckwith, Caroline Walker Bynum, and Nicholas Watson provide their varied assessments.
A Selected Bibliography is also included.
