Written in the 14th and 15th centuries, first published in 1670, and now recognised as the earliest surviving book written in the English language by a woman, Julian’s work Revelations of Divine Love remains as studied, read, and revered as ever. When Julian was thirty, she received a series of visions while in the midst of recovering from a nearly lethal disease. Despite witnessing the ravages of constant war and even the Black Plague, her writings reflect the possibility of transcending circumstance when hope is grounded in God’s love. We are held in existence by this divine love and through it, all will eventually be brought to perfect union and peace.
