The Search for the Lost Manuscript: Julian of Norwich

Medieval art historian Dr Janina Ramirez tells the incredible story of a book hidden for centuries in the shadows of history, the first book ever written in English by a woman - Julian of Norwich - in 1373. Revelations of Divine Love dared to present an alternative vision of man's relationship with God - a theology fundamentally at odds with the church of Julian's time - and for 500 years the book was suppressed.
