| Summary: | This article examines the five lyrical meditations known collectively as the Wooing Group, focusing on the anchoritic reader's nurturance of her affective literacies in reading these texts. The presence-absence of the Lover Christ and the Virgin Mary is central to the affective strategies of the meditations: the anchoress is engaged in a continual search for Christ and his mother, drawing close to them only to find herself distanced again. |
