Originally published as an English translation in 1981, The Middle English Mystics
is a crucial contribution to the study of the literature of English mysticism. This
book surveys and analyses the language of metaphor in the writings of such mystics
as Richard Rolle, Walter Hilton, Julian of Norwich, and in such anonymous works as
The Cloud of Unknowing and the Ancrene Wisse. The main emphasis of this comparative
and stylistic study is not theological but rather the means by which theological concepts
are communicated through language. The book sets the English mystics in perspective
by establishing their place in the European mystical movement of the Middle Ages.
It shows how intricate the relationship between English, and continental mysticism
really is. The book suggests that there is clear links between English and German
female mysticism, yet the mysticismis in the main due not so much to specific influences
as to the common background of Christian theology and mysticism
