Reviews for The Book of Margery Kempe: Annotated Edition
[Kempe] bursts from the pages of this careful and sober critical edition like Molly Bloom. Windeatt's introduction and detailed notes help to place her in a cultural context. [...]In terms of comparison and allusion to Middle English Texts and provision of a helpful glossary, this edition is exemplary.
