More about the book
In women’s mystic texts of the late Middle Ages, forms of pleasure were devised and tested that by far eclipse much of what appears to be extreme and daring today. Pain and pleasure were blended into each other without diminishing the tension of both extremes. By ingenious use of semantics, Andrea Zech’s study demonstrates impressively how recipients can follow and comprehend the pleasure of God imaginatively and performatively. In a language of its own, pleasure is thus portrayed like a postmodern performance without denying its otherness.
