Interdisciplinary studies on medieval mystics and their cultural background.

Contemplative life in the middle ages has been the focus of much recent critical attention. The Symposium papers collected in this volume illuminate the mystical tradition through examination of written texts and material culturein the medieval period. A particular focus is on Celtic modes of witnessing to comtemplative vision from Ireland and Wales: an eighth-century account of voyages to wonders beyond the known world of Irish monasticism, and the workof Christian bards in medieval Wales. Distinctions within the mystical tradition in England are also explored both within differing Religious Orders and bewtween individuals engaged with the contemplative life.

Dr MARION GLASSCOE teaches in the School of English and American Studies at the University of Exeter.

Industry Reviews

Summaries can only suggest the riches for the student of medieval mysticism and spirituality to be found... a collection which delights and instructs. JOURNAL OF ENGLISH & GERMANIC PHILOLOGY

The strength of this volume lies not only in the expansion of its geographical remit, but also in its embracing of some of the more neglected spiritual traditions and texts. NOTES & QUERIES
