James Wilson takes a look at The Saintliness of Margery Kempe:
Morality and domesticity are so fourteenth century. Margery Kempe, wife, mother, and housekeeper, is fed up with the medieval constraints on women. "Damn all morality!" the less than saintly title character of The Saintliness of Margery Kempe exclaims at the beginning of John Wulp's play. Even if she is destined to go to hell for her rebelliousness, she vows to "have an adventure or two!" . . . |
