Margery Kempe is known for writing, through dictation, The Book of Margery Kempe.

Her work is considered by some to be the first autobiography in the English language.

The Desire of the Moth for the Star is three authors’ interpretations of Margery’s story.

The authors’ fascination with the character of Margery Kempe was inspired by an inability to explain, psychologize, or laugh away the mystery of her spiritual quest.

This semester’s production, The Desire of the Moth for the Star, was written by three authors using highly contrasting styles to capture the fluctuating spirit of Margery Kempe’s life in each act.

Margery Kempe (c.1373-c.1440) began dictating her memoirs to a scribe around 1430 with the implicit hope of canonization. Her manuscript passed into oblivion until it was discovered in a country house in Yorkshire in 1934.

The Book of Margery Kempe is now the focus of great academic interest as the earliest known autobiography written in English.

Margery Kempe was never declared a saint.
