- Female perspectives of medieval mysticism through the writings of Julian of Norwich & Margery Kempe.
In the years after the Black Death decimated Europe, many turned to mysticism to understand life’s questions. In an age where few women were afforded an education, we have the rare survival of two books written in Middle English by female authors: Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe. Although they have very different backgrounds and perspectives, both women became Christian mystics. We’ll look at their works and what they tell us about the lives and ideas of women and mystics in the Middle Ages.
Today i finished watching The Passion of Joan of Arc, as published by criterion with the "Voices of Light" soundtrack. In the booklet of the soundtrack it included sources from medieval texts of female mystics and feminists and this is something i've never heard of or even considered, i had to know more, and when i checked out the youtube search results this seemed to be the only decent, accessible video, then i checked your channel and as i've been wanting to get into theology and old history stuff but not knowing where to start, well lemme just say i'm about to have an absolute riot with the next few weeks of quarantine. Thank you!!!
Please do lectures on ancient Jewish schools of sorcery. Thanks for your excellent and objective efforts.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing this.
Fantastic! thank you so much
Julian of Norwich. My favorite NDE account.
Great video!
Did any of the French Kings Phillip IV, Louis X, Phillip V, and Charles IV have interesting appellations (ex. Phillip II = Phillip Augustus (the increaser))?
Hahaha any questions? *Lady starts singing*. I love the open nature of these things.
I love the mission statement, at least.
"Dark Ages" was, actually, the Age of Light.
I missed Hildegard de Bingen...
Maybe because she's German.This is more about the Anglo-Franco era.
1.20 - There is always one in every audience.
I'm glad he moved to filtered online questions only. The interruptions weren't adding much. With rare exceptions. These lectures are well prepared and the audience was really causing a problem.
Oh! Those were the *witches* , right? JUST KIDDING...
