Margergy Kempe:
In Search of the Scribe

The Language
of Self Identity:
The Scribe in
the Text
Because
the text offers what little we know about the priest who copied and
transcribed the Book of Margery Kempe, the text is where all study of his
identity begins. These pages will organize the textual presentation of the
scribe’s character, position, and whereabouts in order to provide a basic
platform for future Margery Kempe scholars, as well as offering a detailed
analysis of the linguistic patterns used to describe each character in the Book
who merits consideration as the potential scribe.
