 Medieval
Norwich
Throughout the middle ages, Norwich was one of the most populous
and celebrated cities in England. Dominated by its castle and
cathedral priory, it was the centre of government power in East
Anglia, as well as an important trading entrepot. With records
dating back to Anglo-Saxon times, and many buildings surviving
from the middle ages, the history of medieval Norwich is an
exceptionally rich one. Medieval Norwich is an account of the
growth of the city, with its walls, streams, markets, hospitals
and churches, and the lives of its citizens. It traces activities
and beliefs, as well as the tensions lying not far beneath the
surface that eventually erupted in Kett’s Rebellion of
1549.
 Julian
of Norwich: Mystic and Theologian
Julian of Norwich, an anchoress of the 14th century, continues
to attract much interest. Her life remains in many ways a mystery
since she says nothing in her writing about the world in which
she grew up, how she was educated or how she became an anchoress.
This biography attempts not only to penetrate her theological
ideas, but also to open up her world and her life. The result
is an account of the life and thought of an extraordinary woman
mystic whose insights into spiritual growth and wholeness are
of universal and timely significance. In the new introduction
to this edition, Grace Jantzen explores what it might mean to
be an anchoress in postmodernity, and how reflections on Julian
of Norwich and her desire for God can enable us to become the
space of divine transformation.
 Norwich
Since 1550
Norwich remained the second largest city in England until the
eighteenth century. Its history over the last 450 years is of
exceptional interest. Norwich since 1550 is a full account of
the post-medieval history of the city and covers all aspects
of Norwich life, including its population, housing, churches
and chapels, politics, work, education, arts, architecture and
medical care. It brings out Norwich’s individuality and
shows how it became the city it is today. While Norwich changed
and developed in many ways over the centuries, its textiles
could not compete with those of the northern boom towns of the
Industrial Revolution. Instead it settled into its role as a
regional and banking capital.
