Virtual Pilgrimages in the Convent : Imagining Jerusalem in the Late Middle Ages
This book (475pp.) makes a major contribution to an important and contested field of medieval studies. It is materially comprehensive, fresh and rigorously grounded in existing late medieval documents and images. Its study of users and uses as well as objects it is highly interdisciplinary. It highlights a vast body of new material relating to Dutch late medieval culture: most of the texts and images it contains have not previously been published. (The book contains translations of seventeen previously unedited Middle Dutch texts.) It is interdisciplinary in its focus on vernacular literacy and women’s history as well as art history.
