ENGL 2322 Exam #2 Study Guide
The Book of Margery Kempe is categorized as a spiritual autobiography. What
is a unique attribute of Kempe's book in relation to this category? ANS✔✔
The point of view of Kempe's Book is unusual in that she tells her own story,
but does so in the third person, referring to herself as "this creature." Even so,
the work is highly subjective, focusing exclusively on Margery's own
perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and opinions.


After the birth of her first child, who does Kempe see in a vision that leads to
her breakdown? ANS✔✔ After the birth of her first child, Margery has a
nervous breakdown, seeing hideous devils all around her.


What are the conditions of Kempe and her husband's settlement? ANS✔✔
John tells Margery that he agrees to go to the bishop to take a vow of chastity
but she must do something else instead: she must continue to sleep in the same
bed as him, pay off his debts before she leaves for Jerusalem and she must give
up fasting on Fridays.


Upon her marriage to Christ (as detailed in "Margery's Marriage to and
Intimacy with Christ"), Kempe recounts various sensory (relating to the five
sense) experiences. What are those experiences? ANS✔✔ -SMELL: "she felt
sweet smells with her nose; it was sweeter, she thought, than ever was any
sweet earthly thing that she smelled before"


-HEAR: "sometimes she heard with her bodily ears such sounds and melodies
that she might not well hear what a man said to her in that time unless he
spoke the louder; these sounds and melodies had she heard nearly everyday for
the term of 25 years"

, -EYES: "she saw with her bodily eye many white things flying all about her on
every side, as thick in a manner as specks of dust in the sun; they were delicate
and comfortable, and the brighter than the sun shone, the better she might see
them"


-TOUCH: 16 years, "fire of love burning in her breast; heat of the Holy Ghost,
which shall burn away all your sins"


-TASTE????: fasting on bread and water


In "Margery's Reaction to a Pieta," Kempe explains why upon seeing the Pieta,
she was "compelled to cry full loudly and weep full sorely." How does Kempe
explain this experience? ANS✔✔ -"and through the beholding of that pity,
her mind was all wholly occupied in the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ and
in the compassion of our Lady, Saint Mary, by which she was compelled to cry
full loudly and weep full sorely, as though she should have died"


-"When her crying was ceased, she said to the priest 'Sir, his death (Jesus) is as
fresh to me as if he had died this same day, and so I think it ought to be to you
and to all the Christian people. We ought ever to have mind his kindness and
ever think of the doleful death that he died for us."


How does Kempe visualize the Passion sequence? pg.454 ANS✔✔ ----Kempe
describes extra textual scenes like Jesus' parting from his mother, Mary's
terrible grief, the exhaustion and bewilderment of Holy Saturday, and Jesus'
appearance to his mother very early on Easter morning. By concluding
Margery's experience of the Passion with her apprehension of the Purification,
Kempe suggests her awareness that, in privileging the affective piety of Mary
