What happened to the fervent Marian piety of the late Middle Ages
during Germany's Reformation and Counter-Reformation? It has been
widely assumed that Mary disappeared from Protestant devotional
life and subsequently became a figurehead for the Catholic Church's
campaign of religious reconquest. This book presents a more finely
nuanced account of the Virgin's significance. In many Lutheran
territories Marian liturgy and images - from magnificent
altarpieces to simple paintings and prints - survived, though their
meaning was transformed. In Catholic areas baroque art and piety
flourished, but the militant Virgin associated with the
Counter-Reformation did not always dominate religious devotion.
Traditional manifestations of Marian veneration persisted, despite
the post-Tridentine Church's attempts to dictate a uniform style of
religious life. This book demonstrates that local context played a
key role in shaping Marian piety, and explores the significance of
this diversity of Marian practice for women's and men's experiences
of religious change.
