Özet
Margery Kempe (c.1373-c.1439), bir otobiyografi yazarıdır ve onun ruhsal yaşamı The Book of Margery Kempe (Margery Kempe’in Kitabı) adlı eserinde kaleme alınmıştır. Kempe’in mistik bir yazar olduğu düşünülmesine rağmen, kitabı başka Ortaçağ mistik yazarlarının kullandığı içeriğe uymaz. Çünkü, o esas olarak kendi kişisel ve ruhsal deneyimleri üzerinde durur ve bir rahibe değildir. Kempe, duygusal bir kadındı ve onun için Hristiyanlığın mucizeleri, gerçek deneyimlerdi. Yaşamındaki gerçek olaylar veya kişiler ise, ona Hristiyan kavramlarını ya da kişiliklerini anımsatıyordu.
Margery Kempe (c.1373-c.1439) is an autobiographer, and her spritual life is recorded in her work entitled The Book of Margery Kempe. Though Kempe is thought of as a mystical author, her book does not conform to the contents of other medieval mystical writings, because she mainly dwells on her personal and spiritual experiences, and she was not a nun. Kempe was an emotional woman, and for her the miracles in Christianity became real experiences. As for the real events or persons in her life, they reminded her of Christian concepts or personalities.
