Anthony Bale, editor of the new Oxford World’s Classics edition of The Book of Margery Kempe, describes the life of a remarkably unremarkable medieval woman. http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/product/9780199686643.do

Anthony Bale studied at the universities of Oxford and York and at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He has published widely on various medieval topics, including Christian-Jewish relations, the poetry of Chaucer and Lydgate, religion in East Anglia, and fifteenth-century literature and pilgrimage. He is the editor of Mandeville's Book of Marvels and Travels in OWC, and in 2011 was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize.
