Anchoritic Spiritualityancrene Wisse And Associated Works Translated And Introduced By Anne Savage And Nicholas Watson Preface By Benedicta Ward Therefore This Is Written In The Gospel About The Three Marys, Ut Venientes Ungerunt Iesumnon Autem Recedentes (Mark 16:1). These Marys, It Says, These Bitterness, Were Coming To Anoint Our Lord. They Are Coming To Anoint Our Lordthose Things We Suffer For His Lovewho Stretches Himself Towards Us As One Who Is Anointed, And Makes Himself Smooth And Soft To Touch. And Was He Not Himself A Recluse In Mary'S Womb? These Two Things Belong To The Anchoress: Narrowness And Bitterness. For The Womb Is A Narrow Dwelling, Where Our Lord Was A Recluse; And This Word Mary, As I Have Often Said, Means Bitterness. Ancrene Wisse (Ca. 1225) Sometime In The First Quarter Of The Thirteenth Century A Number Of Works Were Written For Anchoresses, Women Who Lived As Religious Recluses In Cells Adjoining Churches. The Most Influential Is Ancrene Wisse (A Guide For Anchoresses), Which Discusses In Great Detail The Daily Life Of The Anchoress, Both Outerher Prayers, Her House, Her Food And Clothingand Innerher Attitudes To Everything She Is And Does. Holy Maidenhood, A Treatise On Virginity, Praises The Freedom And Joy Of The Unmarried State Of The Anchoress, Providing A Series Of Arguments To Support Her In Her Way Of Life When She May Be Tempted To Leave It. Sawles Warde (The Soul'S Keeping) Looks At The Pains Of Hell And The Joys Of Heaven As Recounted By Two Messengers, Fear And Love Of Life. The Passions Of Three Early Virgin Martyrs, Katherine, Margaret And Juliana Provide Models Of Heroic Strength And Determination In The Face Of Bribery, Argument And Torture By Disappointed Wouldbe Lovers, Who Demand The Virgins' Renunciation Of Their New Christian Faith. The Wooing Of Our Lord Is The Longest Of Several Short Prayers And Meditations Which Court The Anchoress, Body And Soul, On Behalf Of Christ As Lover. Together, The Works Give Us An Extraordinarily Detailed Sense Of A Powerful, Multifaceted Spirituality Which Is In Most Respects Quite Different From That Of The Later And Betterknown Fourteenthcentury English Mystics. This Is The First Time All Of These Works Have Appeared Together In Print.
