Revelations of Divine Love (Annotated)

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment. Julian of Norwich (1342-c.1416) is known to us almost only through his book, The Revelations of Divine Love, which is widely recognized as one of the great classics of spiritual life. She is believed to have been the first woman to write a book in English that has survived. We don't know Julian's real name, but his name is taken from St Julian's Church in Norwich, where he lived as an anchor for most of his life. We know from the medieval literary work, The Book of the Margery Kempe, that Julian was known as a spiritual adviser. People would go to his cell in Norwich for advice. Considering that, at that time, the citizens of Norwich were suffering from plague and poverty, in addition to famine, he must have advised many people that he suffered. However, his writings are full of hope and confidence in the goodness of God.
