The Book of Margery Kempe (c. 1436-8) is the extraordinary account of a medieval wife, mother and mystic. Known as the earliest autobiography written in the English language, Kempe's Book describes the dramatic transformation of its heroine from failed businesswoman and lustful young wife to devout and chaste pilgrim. She vividly describes her prayers and visions, as well as the temptations in daily life to which she succumbed before dedicating herself to her spiritual calling. She travelled to the most holy sites of the medieval world, including Rome and Jerusalem. Salient Features A lively new translation of one of the most important texts of the Middle Ages and the first surviving autobiography in English, with full supporting editorial material.
