This richly illustrated collection of essays is the first interpretive study of Saint Anne—the apocryphal mother of the Virgin—in late medieval culture. This book examines the myriad images of Saint Anne from a variety of sources including folklore, drama, ritual, the visual arts, local and political history, hagiographic narrative, and theology. As a symbol of immense authority, Saint Anne provides valuable access to this historically specific culture.
