Description

The Secret Within A comprehensive history of English medieval mysticism, exploring the lives and works of hermits, recluses, and spiritual outsiders. Wolfgang Riehle delves into the origins and evolution of the English mystical tradition, from the twelfth century to the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Riehle examines the key figures of this period, including Richard Rolle, Walter Hilton, Margery Kempe, and Julian of Norwich, as well as the broader spiritual landscape of the Middle Ages. He considers the influences of Late Antiquity and corresponding developments in mysticism and theology on the Continent, shedding new light on the complex relationships between spirituality, theology, and culture. This book offers fresh insights into a fascinating period of English history, making it an essential resource for scholars and students of medieval literature, as well as those interested in historical, theological, philosophical, cultural, or anthropological studies of mysticism.
