Overview: Regarded by some as the author of the English language’s first autobiography, Margery Kempe was a late medieval mystic and pilgrim. Lost for centuries, her book offers an insightful window into the life of a middle-class woman in the middle ages. She recounts in vibrant detail the madness that followed the birth of the first of her fourteen children, the failure of her brewery business, her dramatic call to spiritual life, her vow of chastity and pilgrimages to Europe and the Holy Land. ‘The Book of Margery Kempe’ presents a unique portrait of a woman of remarkable character, incredible bravery and pious belief. Delphi’s Medieval Library provides eReaders with rare and precious works of the Middle Ages in their original texts. This eBook presents the original Middle English text, illustrations, an informative introduction and the usual Delphi bonus material.
