The Book of Margery Kempe

The Book of Margery Kempe is a medieval text attributed to Margery Kempe, an English Christian mystic and pilgrim who lived at the turn of the fifteenth century. It details Kempe's life, her travels, her accounts of divine revelation including her visions of interacting with the Trinity, particularly Jesus, as well as other biblical figures. These interactions take place through a strong mental connection forged between Kempe and said biblical figures. The book is also notable for her claim to be present at key biblical events such as the Nativity, shown in chapter six of Book I,^[1] and the Crucifixion.^[2]
