Beatrice of Nazareth and the amazing group of nuns and beguines who lived and wrote, or were written about, in the Low Countries during the thirteenth century have recently begun to receive attention from English-speaking Flemish scholars. Roger DeGanck brings these women and their spirituality vividly to life, drawing on his long experience in Cistercian monastic life, his training in theology, his familiarity with Flemish scholarship, his fluency in Latin, and long years of painstaking personal study.
