Event overview
Conference at The Hoxton Hotel, Shoreditch
Unlike other women in the pantheon of English mystics like Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe, the seventeenth-century visionary Jane Lead is far from a household name. And yet her writings, first published in English between 1681 and 1702, have enjoyed a remarkably wide and enduring circulation, influencing the international Pietist movement as well as prophecy movements in the nineteenth century and Pentecostal readers in the twentieth.
This day colloquium aims to bring together leading experts on English radicalism but also mystical religion in Europe more widely, to examine Lead's context and networks, and the significance of her reception.
Keynote speakers: Prof. Nigel Smith, Princeton University and Prof. Phyllis Mack, Rutgers University
