Notes: The Book of Margery Kempe is believed to be the first autobiography in the English language. In this pamphlet the author examines the history of the book itself and the manuscript that emerged in 1934. He explores its content and explains why it was such a pioneering work, the places that are still associated with Kempe and its influence on modern day writers, historians and dramatists.
