Reading The Book of Margery Kempe | Alexandria
Read The Book of Margery Kempe by Margery Kempe. Disrupting medieval mysticism, Kempe's raw autobiographical confessions shattered religious conventions by daring to record divine encounters in her own voice - not Latin, but English. Her radical authenticity and emotional spirituality challenged male authority while offering a blueprint for individual religious experience that resonates eerily with modern memoir and self-expression.
