Julián de Norwich es la mística inglesa más importante del siglo XIV, con una espiritualidad fuertemente trinitaria y fundamentalmente neoplatónica. En sus Revelaciones de Amor Divino, relata dieciséis visiones místicas recibidas durante una grave enfermedad en 1373. Aunque se describió a sí misma como 'iletrada', Julián escribe con un estilo bellamente simple, revelando una profunda comprensión de la teología tradicional. Sus visiones, a menudo centradas en la Pasión de Cristo, la conducen a profundas ideas sobre la naturaleza de Dios, lidiando con doctrinas de pecado y condenación, pero finalmente aceptando una optimista seguridad de que 'todo estará bien'.
Julian of Norwich is one of the subtlest writers and profoundest thinkers of the Middle Ages, and the earliest woman writer in English. Her Revelations describe a loving and merciful God and a positive vision of humanity. This sensitive new translation conveys the poise and serenity of her style, and includes the two versions of her text.
In Love Enclosed offers short, daily readings of spiritual encouragement, comfort and renewal for those seeking guidance in this busy, confusing world. These words of hope and the love of God are selected from The Revelations of Divine Love, one of the great classics of the spiritual life, written in the fourteenth century by the woman known as Julian of Norwich. It is thought to be the first book written in English by a woman which is still in print today.
