Further reading

This book is intended as a brief introduction to Julian of Norwich and her legacy. It is founded on the research of many more detailed articles and books, which probe deeper into almost every facet of Julian’s life and work. By necessity I have had to draw out the ideas and information that most clearly summarize the importance of reading Julian today. This book is by no means exhaustive, and I would guide the interested reader towards these works for further reading.
