Abstract:
By employing a framework of virtual reality I aim to understand the ways in which The Book of Margery Kempe uses imaginative and cognitive devices, or machinae mentis, to construct a spatialised, operative, immersive and fully interactive conception of the soul that ultimately poses as an embodied fragment of heaven. I term this structure the ‘virtual soul’ and argue that it functions as a real space that accelerates and enhances Margery Kempe’s communion with the divine.
