Walsingham and the English Imagination

By Gary Waller

Drawing on history, art history, literary criticism and theory, gender studies, theology and psychoanalysis, this interdisciplinary study analyzes the cultural significance of the Shrine of our Lady of Walsingham, through the Middle Ages to the present. Gary Waller investigates Walsingham's rich tradition of literary and dramatic writing, ballads, musical compositions, novels, and legends and sets present-day Walsingham within the context of recent feminist theology and gender issues.
