Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe

Available for over a year

650 years since the visions of Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe's birth in King's Lynn, two novels have been published which explore these influential medieval mystics. Shahidha Bari brings together Claire Gilbert (author of I, Julian) and Victoria MacKenzie (author of For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy On My Little Pain) and New Generation Thinker Hetta Howes to discuss these very different characters and what we know of their lives and faith. Producer: Robyn Read
