At the risk of making your blog and comments sound like a broken record, my students, too, were prone to pathologizing Margery, even after reading Lynn Staley and Sarah Salih's brilliant arugments.

It's funny that you mention students calling Margery Kempe "crazy" and a "freak" because those are the exact words my students used to describe her last month!
