Mother Juliana

Mother Juliana, Julian of Norwich (wiki)

Julian of Norwich (circa 1343 [note 1]–after 1416)—also known as Juliana of Norwich, the Lady Julian, Dame Julian [4], and Mother Julian—was an English anchoress of the Middle Ages.

Her writings, now known as Revelations of Divine Love, are the earliest surviving English-language works attributed to a woman. (One might surmise that the poems of Sappho from the Island of Sappho in ancient Greece wrote works earlier and was credited for doing so before Mother Juliana).

They are also the only surviving English-language works by an anchoress. Julian(a) lived in the English city of Norwich, an important center for commerce which also had a vibrant religious life.

During her lifetime, the city suffered the devastating effects of the Black Death (plague) of 1348–1350, the Peasants' Revolt (which affected large parts of England in 1381), and the suppression of the Lollards.

In 1373, aged 30 and so seriously ill that she thought she was on her deathbed, she received a series of visions or "shewings" (showings) of the Passion (Suffering) of Christ.

She recovered from her illness and wrote two versions of her experiences, the earlier one being completed soon after her recovery. A much longer version, today known as the Long Text, was written many years later. More
