Anotácia knihy

"A wholly feminine voice within Catholicism - they express the inexpressible better than any amount of rational thinking about God." - "The Times".The three women who are the subject of this fascinating study left a rich legacy of medieval spirituality. Frances Beer explores their writings and draws on available historical evidence to bring the experience of all three women closer to a 20th-century audience. She sees Hildegard's perception of her Creator as informed by the heroic ideal, while Mechthild's erotic experience seems to show the influence of the minnesingers. Julian's experience of tender intimacy with her Lord demonstrates an egalitarian confidence in the ability of the individual soul to progress towards oneness with the divine. Their individual natures are also further revealed through the author's examination of their resolution of a number of theological problems. In contrast, the works of two medieval men writing for women are also explored. Francesbeer is Associate Professor of English at York University, Toronto.
