N2  - Although this book belongs to a series of Early Modern Studies, it draws heavily on the medieval legacy of writing about the soul in its various capacities: as an observer or judge of the body, as an audience for the mind or a source of information. Discussion begins with the perceiving soul as the “ghostly [spiritual] eye” that Christ, as the fourteenth-century English nun Julian of Norwich said, opened in her heart.
