   This essay questions the current critical attitude toward medieval understandings of the body. It tests the limits of the contemporary “corporeal turn” by reassessing a textual crux in Julian of Norwich's . Contesting the dominant, defecatory reading of the “fair purse” passage, it argues that interpretation of the image of the purse has suffered at the expense of current preoccupation with the material and allegedly digressive body. The essay uses lexical evidence to demonstrate the significance of ingestion as much as digestion to Julian's image, and to align the passage with her thought elsewhere in . Ultimately, it argues that the full resonance of the passage lies in its relationship to the sacrament of the altar. This article thus contributes to debates on religion and the body, and more specifically to underexamined eucharistic dimensions of the body in Julian's theology. Read less

   In the Revelation of Love, Julian of Norwich records one of her most opaque "shewings": asking why God allowed the first sin to happen, she is answered with the phrase, "Sinne is behovely, but alle shalle be wele, and alle shalle be wele, and alle maner of thinge shalle be wel." Julian "sees" in the revealed words "sinne is behovely" that there is a knowledge of God's "rightfulnesse," now hidden, that will be revealed to the blessed in heaven, "in which knowing all shalle verely se the cause why he sufferde sinne to come, in which sight they shalle endlessely havejoye." Here, Healy-Varley examines Norwich's Revelation of Love. Read less

   It has become increasingly common to see medieval texts read alongside postmodern theories. Methodologically speaking, these engagements can take several forms, but are often framed within metaphors of ‘applying’ postmodern theories or ‘imposing’ frameworks on medieval sources, introducing a certain danger that the medieval source comes across as incidental to a theoretically performative reading, whether or not this is the scholar’s intention. It may be more accurate and more methodologically helpful when reading medieval texts and postmodern theories to consider each of these encounters as a conversation between past and postmodern, triangulated by the present of the researcher or reader, rather than using metaphors of superimposition. This paper presents one such conversation between fourteenth-century English anchorite Julian of Norwich and twentieth-century postmodern theorist Judith Butler. I argue that Julian and Butler both reject a strict and mutually exclusive gender binary because they both subscribe to an ontology which is queerer than human categories of language, and that the body as a site of discourse is the point at which Butler and Julian meet. This essay shows not only that postmodern theory is a useful tool when reading medieval texts, but also that the medieval has something to say to the postmodern—and will continue to talk back to theory in an unending and continually transformative exchange of perspectives.
