Kevin Faulkner has been an enthusiast and Browne scholar for many years and has written a number of essays which are published in different places. Here are some links to essays. Of particular interest is the link between Julian of Norwich - another important Norwich thinker - read about it here and a further essay about his spirituality here. Krzysztof Fijalkowski's monograph on The Garden of Cyrus is an accessible, short, yet rewarding read.
