Julian of Norwich (c. 1342 after 1416) was the first woman
writer in English and has been called "the female Chaucer." Nothing
is known of her background or even her real name, simply that she
believed she was a messenger to all Christians because of her
'showings' from God. She has been hailed by Thomas Merton to be
"without a doubt one of the most wonderful of all Christian
voices," and former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams says
that her writings "may well be the most important work of Christian
reflection in the English language."
"Julian of Norwich's Showings shines with luminous mystical wisdom--and Mirabai Starr's lovely and engaging translation of this medieval masterpiece makes it more accessible than ever."--Carl McColman, author of The Big Book of Christian Mysticism and Answering the Contemplative Call
