Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Angela of Foligno is definitely one interesting mystic! A woman who became somewhat of a spiritual guru after adopting an anchorite-like way of life in Italy, following the death of EVERYONE in her family (not without some conspiracy theories), provides insight into the spirituality of a time and place of great interest.
This book, like most of the volumes of the Classics of Western Spirituality, is a well organized and edited collection. You will be hard pressed to find another comparable collection of Angela's works in English - because there aren't any. This is the necessary addition to the library of anyone interested in mysticism, medieval studies, early franciscan-inspired spirituality, anchorite spritituality or are just interested in some challenging and edifying lessons. This book is for you.

Blessed Angela of Foligno (c.1248-1309), while not widely known, is one of the most outstanding, most brilliant representatives of 13th-century Italian mysticism. In this excellent translation, Lachance provides an comprehensive introduction that summarizes Angela's inner journey, spirituality, and influence that will reach readers of medieval and women's visionary literature, feminists, and historians, as well as its usual devotional reading audience.
