St Birgitta of Sweden
Author:  Bridget Morris
Published:  1999
Medium: Book         Publisher:  Boydell & Brewer Ltd

St Birgitta of Sweden was one of the most charismatic figures in the late medieval mystical tradition. In Rome she succeeded in commanding prelates and popes, and throughout the courts of Europe she engaged in political secular intrigues; she married and produced eight children, yet became the only woman in the fourteenth century to be canonised; and in an age where new monastic foundations were proscribed, she founded an order of her own devising, primarily for women.   hardback   ISBN 978-0-851-15727-6
