I love this insight into the way Margery's life and her telling of her story is shaped by her imaginative milieu. Fascinating to think how the grail legends give shape to the spiritual journeys of both Margery Kempe and T.S. Eliot, who draws on the legend of the Fisher King in final section of The Waste Land.

Very thoughtful and gives us much to think about.
“Our stories form the lattices for our theology.” This is something I will be pondering. One of my favorite pieces I’ve read on Substack!
