Kotrlý, Karel ; Hrdlička, Jaroslav (advisor) ; Lášek, Jan Blahoslav (referee)
This work can be divided to the two main themes which the first one has a function of introduction this for Central Europe a little exotic theme. First chapters treat of History of England in the Late Middle Ages. I want to present this historical period. from reign of Edward I. to Henry Tudor's victory at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485 in its complexity. There is exposition of short political history and every day life of inhabitants in the late medieval England. There is also short exposition of churches history in England and intellectual life and its consequences for spirituality of ordinary men. The main part of the work English Mysticism in the Late Middle Ages I tried to centralize into the historical and theological exposition of the lives and writings of some representative English mystices like Richard Rolle of Hampolle, Walter Hilton and anonymous author of Cloud of Unknowing, as objective as possible presenting the facts which I found in the literature. In the final chapters I dealt with female mysticism in this period. England made the two great female mystics Julian of Norwich who spent her life like anchoress and her Showings of Divine Love is often studied book in nowadays and the pilgrim Margery Kempe with her highly passionate spirituality.
