المستخلص: |
Virginity is not normally compatible with marriage. Nor is the virgin usually able to reclaim premarital chastity- except at the spiritual level, like a saint. Like a virgin, Margery Kempe goes through a personal religious experience outside officially charted venues of devotion to regain her chastity in a community where virginity was physiologically recognised and institutionally regulated. Listening for religious guidance, she sees divine truth in the private pursuit of piety. I argue that the female mystic finds a measure of safety in the non-gendered status of the virgin, and yet develops a resilient sense of identity which enables her to bypass antagonism and negotiate her way to virginal cleanness. |
