Notwithstanding the wealth of material published about St Clare of
Assisi (1193-1253) in the context of medieval scholarship, and the
wealth of visual material regarding her, there is a dearth of
published scholarship concerning her cult in the early modern
period. This work examines the representations of St Clare in the
Italian visual tradition from the thirteenth century on, but
especially between the fifteenth and the mid-seventeenth centuries,
in the context of mendicant activity. Through an examination of
such diverse visual images as prints, drawings, panels, sculptures,
minor arts, and frescoes in relation to sermons of Franciscan
preachers, starting in the thirteenth century but focusing
primarily on the later tradition of early modernity, the book
highlights the cult of women saints and its role in the reform
movements of the Osservanza and the Catholic Reformation and in the
face of Muslim-Christian encounter of the early modern era. Debby's
analyses of the preaching of the times and iconographic examination
of neglected artistic sources makes the book a significant
contribution to research in art history, sermon studies, gender
studies, and theology.
