Pilate's wife
by H.D. ; edited and with an introduction by Joan A. Burke.
by H. D. (Hilda Doolittle)
"Veronica, Pontius Pilate's wife, is beautiful, brilliant, and weary of her worldly life. One day she disguises herself as a servant in order to visit a fortune-teller, and when the seer, Mnevis, tells her of a Jew, a "love-god," Veronica suddenly feels alive, experiencing "sudden pre-visions of inner splendor." Jesus arouses the artist, the dreamer in her - this prophet who believes women have an important place in the spiritual hierarchy.
What follows is a chain of events in which Veronica commits the one genuine act of her life, daringly offering Jesus a "way out" of his crucifixion."--BOOK JACKET.
