Description
The Book of Margery Kempe is an extraordinary autobiography that recounts the life of a medieval woman of unforgettable character and courage. Born around 1373, Margery Kempe's story begins with her tumultuous marriage, the birth of her first child, and the failure of her brewery business.
As she recounts her dramatic call to the spiritual life, Margery Kempe shares vivid details of her visions and uncontrollable tears, as well as her struggles to convert her husband to a vow of chastity. Her journeys to Europe and the Holy Land are also documented in this remarkable record.
Dictated late in life, The Book of Margery Kempe remains an extraordinary record of human faith, offering a unique insight into the life of a woman who defied convention and followed her spiritual convictions.
