This study explores representations of the Madonna and Child in early modern culture.

Of primary interest is the way mothers derived agency from bearing incipient rulers.

Rezensionen
'A fascinating study that deals with an aspect of early modern Marian imagery in theatrical contexts that has not yet been explored. This work is an important contribution to the ongoing scholarly consideration of Marian theatrical invocations.' - Regina Buccola, associate professor of English, Roosevelt University, USA
