{"product_id":"margrery-kempe-of-lynn-and-margaret-gallyon-9781853111112","title":"Margrery Kempe of Lynn and Medieval England","description":"The Christian mystics open our eyes to a world beyond this world, to the world of the spirit and of God, of whom they had a direct knowledge and experience, obtained chiefly through prayer, meditation and contemplation. The purpose of this book is to introduce the general reader to the fifteenth century English mystic, Margery Kempe of Lynn in Norfolk, as seen against her religious, social and historical background, with chapters on her spiritual and devotional life, her home town of Lynn, her encounters with the clergy, her vow of chastity, her pilgrimages, her trials for heresy and her conformity to the customs, faith and doctrines of the church of her day. As a former teacher at King's Lynn High School, Margaret Gallyon acquired a considerable knowledge of the town of Lynn and the surrounding district. It was here too that she first became interested in Margery Kempe, one of Lynn's most fascinating medieval citizens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Gallyon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853111112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853111112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Canterbury Press Norwich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.52d","brand":"Margaret Gallyon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44173161038079,"sku":"9781853111112","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ff9869a-b71b-4e6c-83c3-979576497e33.jpg?v=1689791325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/margrery-kempe-of-lynn-and-margaret-gallyon-9781853111112","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
