Abstract
Julian of Norwich (b. 1343) and Margery Kempe (b. 1373) are known for producing the earliest devotional works in Middle English by named female authors. Emerging in near-tandem from the religious hub of East Anglia in fourteenth-century England, their works and reputations have come to be known to varying extents in Europe. Their location was one of historical European association since Norwich’s links with the Continent via multiple trade routes and the exchange of ideas generated a flourishing of, especially female, piety. The profound influence of European visionary women’s writings on religious women, and men, in England, is increasingly understood.
