The Inner Gaze brings together the stories of eight mystical and visionary women from the 12th to the 14th century, and analyses and comments on the direct testimonies of their experiences. Hildegard of Bingen was the threshold that led to the great mystical splendor of the 13th century, when women such as Hadewijch of Antwerp, Beatrice of Nazareth, Matilda of Magdeburg or Margaret of Oingt wrote about their experience of God in vernacular languages, in works that denote their great culture and that constitute the best testimony of the feminine spirituality of the time. Angela of Foligno, illiterate, moves us by the authenticity of an experience that had to be written by her confessor, while Margaret Porete is a clear antecedent of Meister Eckhart. Julian of Norwich closes this space with her extraordinary The Book of Revelations of Love .
This new edition integrates themes that have been the subject of research by the authors over the last few years: female identity, writing, spiritual journeys and vision.
