'An excellent collection! ... With its impressive, forward-thinking scholarship, these essays will find a broad readership of scholars and students from a variety of disciplines.' -- Josie Campbell, Department of English, University of Rhode Island
Mary Dzon is an associate professor in the Department of English at the University of Tennessee. Theresa M. Kenney is a professor in the Department of English at the University of Dallas.
‘The abiding impression of this collection – and every essay repays
reading and re-reading – is of the extraordinary richness and
poetry of medieval devotions and its remarkable freedom from
sentimental fripperies.’
*Journal of Ecclesiastical History*
‘A lively collection of essays.’
*Speculum*
‘A fascinating volume that makes highly entertaining reading, and
should be of widespread scholarly interest.’
*The Medieval Review*
‘Meticulously documented and edited, this book provides an
impressively rich display of the intersections of medieval theology
with the visual arts, literary expression, and popular devotion… We
will certainly keep this “source-book” to explore further the
ever-endearing and engaging figure of God as baby and little
boy.’
*The Catholic Historical Review vol 101:03:2015*
‘The book is highly relevant for those interested in the Middle
Ages, the history of Christianity, as well as religion and the
arts; it can be an interesting point of departure for future
studies on the construction of childhood in the West.’
*Journal of Religion and Culture*
