A bew interpretation of the role of the visual arts in the
spiritual lives of women in late medieval monastic communities. The
Visual and the Visionary adds a new dimension to the study of
female spirituality, with its nuanced account of the changing roles
of images in medieval monasticism from the twelfth century to the
Reformation. In nine essays embracing the histories of art,
religion, and literature, Jeffrey Hamburger explores the
interrelationships between the visual arts and female spirituality
in the context of the cura monialium, the pastoral care of nuns.
Used as instruments of instruction and inspiration, images occupied
a central place in debates over devotional practice, monastic
reform, and mystical expression. Far from supplementing a history
of art from which they have been excluded, the images made by and
for women shaped that history decisively by defining novel modes of
religious expression, above all, the relationship between sight and
subjectivity. With this book, the study of female piety and
artistic patronage becomes an integral part of the general history
of medieval art and spirituality.
