| Abstract: | The spiritual shape of Julian of Norwich’s Showings is a consequence of the physical enclosure of her cell, the anchorhold. The anchorhold is the residence of the anchoress, built against one of the walls of a community’s church. It is a transitional space in which her visionary activity can be emplaced, embodied, and entextualised. Julian’s journey inside this space began with her revelations of 1373, long before she explicitly embraced anchoritic life. |
