Document Summary
First part is translation pick 2 out of 4 passages to translate. Didn"t read sir gawain in middle english so don"t have to prepare for that second part is an essay question, not open book. But can think of the question before hand. Must talk about three texts in each question; in third one, you have to talk three possible questions but only one of three will be on the final about kempe. Women in middle ages were taught visual devout experiences; to imagine in very visual and physical way the way jesus died, how mary felt, etc. When women are writing the mystic tradition, we must be very careful: never wrote about their experiences without a disclaimer. Marjorie kempe"s illness was related to childbirth: usually wrote in their country"s native language, text supported the teachings of the church but they live independent of the church. Julian, etc: writing is usually affective rather than intellectual.
