On Reading Julian Of Norwich, Luke William Mills

Quidditas

This essay focuses on Julian’s intended audience, claiming that it is more limited than one might at first assume. This leads to a discussion of Julian’s use of paradox, her abrupt changes in modes of discourse, and the conclusion that unless her work is read according to the Augustinian rubric of love, it will be misunderstood.
