Paper Summary:
This paper describes Margery Kempe's words as foreign and the meter of her prose as awkward but similar to Shakespeare in terms of familiarity. The paper discusses the book as a journey for self-realization, living as a vagabond in Medieval Europe and traveling to Jerusalem. The author believes that to understand Margery Kempe, the reader must understand the time and social chaos of medieval Europe.From the Paper:
"Chapter 11 is a discussion between Mary, her "husband" and the Lord at the end of 3 years of fasting from sexual relations. Her husband thinks that she is a "no good wife" for her behavior, but Mary is convinced that this course has brought her closer to her God. Her prayer to end this period of fasting reveals the key to her strange behavior, and the plight of the people of her time."More papers on Margery Kempe's "Quest for Spirituality":
