Title : Margery Kempe, St. Bridget, and Marguerite d’Oingt: The Visionary Writer as Shaman [Visionary writers of medieval Europe performed many of the same functions that modern shamans do in communities outside the Western tradition. As creative artists, they serve as bridges between the eternal and temporal worlds, transferring information and spiritual healing from a higher power to human society. They are apart from society yet also derive power from their marginal position. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
