Norwich anchoress Julian born
1383
In Norfolk a future mystic was born who would receive sixteen visions during a near-fatal illness in 1373 and spend her life as an anchoress writing on the love of God. Julian of Norwich's Revelations, composed in Middle English, are the first book known to be written by a woman in English.
