Talk:Margery Kempe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My recollection of reading about Margery Kempe (sorry, I don't have time to do the homework and find the citations) is that she was regarded as a fraud and a buffoon by many of her contemporaries. She was thought to be the type of bogus mystic excoriated by the author of "The Cloud of Unknowing". These views should be emphasized in her entry. Why is there so much about her in Wiki and so little about Julian of Norwich, who was the genuine article? Xxanthippe 07:10, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
