Title :
Will the Real Margery Kempe Please Stand Up! [The author examines "The Book of Margery Kempe" for religion as it was experienced by women. Swanson cites in particular male roles in Margery's spiritual life, pilgrimage, the urban milieu, pardons and indulgences, heresy, and the influence of devotional literature read to Margery (who was likely illiterate). Swanson suggests that in some respects Margery was like many other lay women who were deeply concerned about their salvation. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
