This book was first published in 2011. The Virgin Mary was one of
the most powerful images of the Middle Ages, central to people's
experience of Christianity. During the Reformation, however, many
images of the Virgin were destroyed, as Protestantism rejected the
way the medieval Church over-valued and sexualized Mary. Although
increasingly marginalized in Protestant thought and practice, her
traces and surprising transformations continued to haunt early
modern England. Combining historical analysis and contemporary
theory, including issues raised by psychoanalysis and feminist
theology, Gary Waller examines the literature, theology and popular
culture associated with Mary in the transition between late
medieval and early modern England. He contrasts a variety of
pre-Reformation texts and events, including popular mariology,
poetry, tales, drama, pilgrimage and the emerging 'New Learning',
with later sixteenth-century ruins, songs, ballads, Petrarchan
poetry, the works of Shakespeare and other texts where the Virgin's
presence or influence, sometimes surprisingly, can be found.
