Published in 1848, this two-volume work was received with great
praise. During a celebrated career, Anna Brownell Jameson (1794
1860) produced Shakespeare criticism, travel writing, biography,
and art history, and was admired by contemporaries such as Mary
Shelley and Thomas Carlyle. Taking an aesthetic rather than
religious approach, the work is a study of the legends represented
in Western art of the Middle Ages, ordered taxonomically. Though
Jameson is considered the first professional female art critic,
this is a reductive label; she was, rather, one of the great art
critics of her age and her work is still of importance to art
historians. Volume 2, which is richly illustrated, examines the
Patron Saints of Christendom, the Virgin Patronesses, the early
martyrs, the Greek and Latin martyrs, the early bishops, the
hermits, and the warrior saints.
