Julia Bolton Holloway received her doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley, and taught at Quincy University, Princeton University, and the University of Colorado, Boulder. She has published books on pilgrimage, Dante and his teacher, Brunetto Latino, Langland, Chaucer, Birgitta of Sweden, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Florence’s ‘English’ Cemetery, among others. She also edited, with Sr Anna Maria Reynolds CP, Showing of Love: Extant Manuscripts and Translation (2001), and authored Anchoress and Cardinal: Julian of Norwich and Adam Easton, OSB (2008). She took early retirement to enter her Anglican convent in Sussex, and now lives as a hermit and custodian of Florence’s ‘English’ Cemetery, teaching the ABC to Romanian Roma families in a graveyard.
"Though the chapters are, in effect, distinct studies, taken together they provide fascinating insight into Julian, her writings, and especially their literary, religious, historical, geographical, and artistic contexts. [...] [It is a] fascinating story Holloway tells, generously maximizing her reading of Julian’s outstanding qualities and abilities. Julian among the Books is a celebration of Julian’s undeniable linguistic skills, creative literary sense, and theological acumen, and also becomes a celebration of Holloway’s own wide erudition in all things Julian."Dale M.
