- Summary:
- "This book is the first critical edition of two fascinating but overlooked devotional texts, each of which shines its own light on medieval faith. The Holkham "Prayers and Meditations" (ca. 1410) is a rare example of female authorship, written by an unnamed woman to guide a "religious sustir." Simon Appulby's "The Fruyte of Redempcyon" (1514) is more popular in aim, composed by one of England's last anchorites to serve his urban community. Both texts are accompanied by extensive notes and introductory essays to aid students and specialists alike"-- Provided by publisher.
