About this listen

Richard Rolle was a hermit and a mystic who was probably more widely read than Chaucer during the medieval period. Rolle sets forth the proper religious path for the contemplative introvert. He teaches a message that is not especially charitable to women but participates in one of the most notable platonic relationships between a man and woman with the anchoress Margaret Kirkby.
