Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the evolution of St. Anne's significance from the early centuries of Christianity to the post-Tridentine era, highlighting her role as a revered figure in late medieval northern Europe. It delves into her representation as a model of female piety and the challenges posed by her absence in Scripture, which made her a target for Protestant Reformers. The narrative traces her transition from a beloved saint to a figure of criticism, ultimately examining her resurgence in Catholic devotion during the early modern period in German- and Dutch-speaking regions.
