"The Book of Margery Kempe" has generally been judged to be over-emotional and its structure regarded as at worst non-existent, at best naive. This work argues instead that The Book unfolds a creative experience of memory as spiritual progress, and explores Margery's meditational experience in the context of visual and verbal iconography.
Casting new light on the more theological aspects of The Book of Margery Kempe and clarifying many of the areas of liturgy and devotional practices, this study reveals coherent theology embedded in the meditative experience. Anchored in a matrix of church teachings, devotional literature, liturgy, ritual, and iconographyall interacting in a network of associationsthe meditations are shown to be relevant to the way she reconstructs the events of her life.
