- Summary:
- After introducing historian Natalie Z. Davis (Society and Culture in Early Modern France, 1974) as a pioneer in the historiography of early modern Europe, Rubin (medieval and early modern history, Queen Mary, U. of London) presents revised versions of three lectures she delivered in 2007 on frameworks for thinking about medieval European religious cultures. The emotional impact of the Virgin Mary on Christian identity is viewed in relation to devotional images (examples shown) and attitudes toward Jews. Distributed by Books International.
