` - review -
The three women who are the subject of this fascinating study lefta rich legacy of medieval spirituality. Frances Beer explores theirwritings 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 intimacywith 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.
FRANCES BEERis Associate Professor of English at YorkUniversity, Toronto.

内容説明
Original and thought-provoking study of three medieval women mystics based on writings and biographical material.
