The Form of Living is the longest of the three vernacular treatises written by the Yorkshire hermit Richard Rolle (c. 1290–1349) and holds the unique position in his canon of being the only work where the date and occasion of composition are known to us; it was written in late 1348 or early 1349, in the last months of his life, on the occasion of his friend and disciple Margaret Kirkby’s enclosure at an anchorhold in Richmond (Allen, Hope Emily, English Writings of Richard Rolle, Hermit of Hampole. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1931); Watson, Nicholas, Richard Rolle and the Invention of Authority. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1991).

摘要

The Form of Living is the longest of the three vernacular treatises written by the Yorkshire hermit Richard Rolle (c. 1290–1349) and holds the unique position in his canon of being the only work where the date and occasion of composition are known to us; it was written in late 1348 or early 1349, in the last months of his life, on the occasion of his friend and disciple Margaret Kirkby’s enclosure at an anchorhold in Richmond (Allen, Hope Emily, English Writings of Richard Rolle, Hermit of Hampole. Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1931); Watson, Nicholas, Richard Rolle and the Invention of Authority. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1991).
