Who was Julian of Norwich?
Julian of Norwich was an English anchoress who lived in permanent seclusion in a cell beside St Julian's Church in Norwich. In 1373, aged 30 and so ill she thought she was dying, she had a series of visions of the Passion of Christ, and after recovering she wrote them down in a short version and, years later, a long one.
Her Revelations of Divine Love are the earliest surviving writings in English known to be by a woman. Little is known of her life, not even whether Julian was her real name. The Long Text was first printed in 1670 and became widely read after 1901; she is now counted among the important Christian mystics.
