Unknown English Artist: Sir Galahad Presented to take his Place with the Knights of the Round Table Chaucer, Geoffrey c.1340–1400, English poet, one of the most important figures in English literature. John Gower, poet and friend of Chaucer, was born around 1330, died in 1408 Juliana of Norwich, d. c.1443, English religious writer, an anchoress, or hermit, of Norwich called Mother, or Dame, Juliana or Julian. Her work, completed c.1393, Revelations of Divine Love, is an expression of mystical fervor in the form of 16 visions of Jesus. Dominant ideas are the great love of God for men and the detestable character of human sin. She is considered one of the greatest English mystics. Kempe, Margery, d. 1438 or afterward, English religious writer, b. King's Lynn was the wife of a prominent citizen and the mother of 14 children. Her autobiography, The Book of Margery Kempe (complete ed. 1940; ed. with modern spelling 1944), was known only in small excerpts until 1934, when the whole was discovered. She was a religious enthusiast whose loud weeping in church and reproof of her neighbors kept her in public disfavor. She traveled abroad as a pilgrim, and her work has rich details of the everyday life of her time. The narrative is occasionally interrupted with visions, prayers, and meditations, many of great beauty. The Death Of Arthur: Arthurian Illustrations
