Walsingham in Literature and Culture from the Middle Ages to Modernity (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Janes, Dominic; Waller, Gary

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Though well known as a shrine to the Virgin Mary and as a popular pilgrimage site, Walsingham has only recently received serious scholarly attention. This volume represents the first collection of multi-disciplinary essays on Walsingham's broader significance. Contributors focus on the hitherto neglected issue of Walsingham's cultural impact: the literary, historical, art historical and sociological significance that Walsingham has had since the later Middle Ages.
