The religious prose of the English fourteenth century: Richard Rolle, hermit of Hampole, the first great name of English mysticism; Walter Hilton's guide for the contemplative life; and the apocalyptic protest tradition associated with John Wycliffe. Two further pillars of the century's mysticism — Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love and the anonymous Cloud of Unknowing — are shelved with the library's Medieval English Mysticism room under Christian Contemplative and Mystical Theology.
