This powerful and evocative anthology introduces the work of three medieval women who write of God's love with a passion and directness which has never been surpassed: Mechthild of Magdeburg, Hadewijch of Brabant and Beatrice of Nazareth.
Fiona Bowie, a course tutor in Women's Studies for the Open University, tells the unhappy story of the beguines and places their lives and work in their social and religious context. Their meditations, visions and prayers - often mistrusted by their contemporaries and largely neglected since their deaths - have been brought to fresh new life in Oliver Davies's magnificent translations.
