A study of six medieval Christian mystics and their teachings, including Julian of Norwich, Meister Eckhart, Jan van Ruysbroeck, St Bernard of Clairvaux, Richard Rolle and the anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing. Anne Bancroft explores how mystical experience shaped medieval Christianity and how these writings continue to speak to spiritual seekers today.
