The Search for the Lost Manuscript: Julian of Norwich Synopsis

In this hour-long documentary, Dr Janina Ramirez tells the incredible story of a book hidden for centuries in the shadows of history, the first book ever written in English by a woman, Julian of Norwich, in 1373. Revelations of Divine Love dared to present an alternative vision of man's relationship with God, a theology fundamentally at odds with the church of Julian's time, and for 500 years the book was suppressed. It re-emerged in the 20th century as an iconic text for the women's movement and was acknowledged as a literary masterpiece.

The Search for the Lost Manuscript: Julian of Norwich (2016) is a documentary and history film directed by Sally-Anne Lomas, released on July 19, 2016 with a runtime of 59m. It stars Janina Ramirez.
