Revelations of Divine Love Royal Collector s Edition Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket

Revelations of Divine Love by Julian of Norwich is a medieval Christian mystical text, notable for being the earliest surviving book written in English by a woman. It details sixteen mystical visions or "shewings" that Julian experienced in 1373 while on her deathbed. After recovering, Julian documented these visions in a short manuscript, known as the Short Text. Over the following decades, she expanded upon her reflections, producing the more extensive Long Text, both of which were written in Middle English.

The work gained renewed interest centuries after Julian's death. Her writings were preserved through various manuscripts, with the Long Text first published in 1670 by Benedictine monk Serenus de Cressy. The 19^th-century revival of her work led to multiple reprints, and in 1901, Grace Warrack's translation introduced Julian's insights to a wider 20^th-century audience. Revelations of Divine Love continues to be studied for its profound spiritual reflections and historical significance in Christian mysticism.
