Amazon.com description: Product Description: Mechthild of Magdeburgâs singular book Das FlieÃende Licht der Gottheit (âThe Flowing Light of the Godheadâ) must be accounted one of the most significant texts in German that we have from the thirteenth century. As a piece of first-rate imaginative writing in the vernacular it is a highly rewarding text for those interested in medieval literature and womenâs writing. It is also of considerable interest to historians and theologians as a document of female spirituality. This introduction to Mechthildâs extraordinary account of her revelations and of her relationship with God and with her contemporaries makes Mechthildâs book more accessible to the English speaker. It takes as its central focus the multi-voiced nature of Mechthildâs writings, suggesting ways of reading her work through an analysis of key voices in the text: (i) the social-historical voice of Mechthild as beguine and nun (ii) the authorial voice (iii) the voice of the mystic and prophet with particular reference to the influence of the Psalter and the Song of Songs (iv) the temporal voice of the visionary at the intersection of Mechthildâs personal story with the master story of Christian salvation.
