Abstract

Yielding a wealth of new material concerning the lives of English nuns in exile in the Low Countries between 1619 and 1794, this volume of religious women's Lives is based on previously unpublished manuscripts. An extensive introduction provides historical and cultural contexts for an understanding of the Lives, and a reappraisal of the self-representation of religious women and of paradigms of life-writing in, and beyond, the early modern period.

Abstract

This book was first published in 2011. The Virgin Mary was one of the most powerful images of the Middle Ages, central to people's experience of Christianity. During the Reformation, however, many images of the Virgin were destroyed, as Protestantism rejected the way the medieval Church over-valued and sexualized Mary. Although increasingly marginalized in Protestant thought and practice, her traces and surprising transformations continued to haunt early modern England. Combining historical analysis and contemporary theory, including issues raised by psychoanalysis and feminist theology, Gary Waller examines the literature, theology and popular culture associated with Mary in the transition between late medieval and early modern England. He contrasts a variety of pre-Reformation texts and events, including popular mariology, poetry, tales, drama, pilgrimage and the emerging 'New Learning', with later sixteenth-century ruins, songs, ballads, Petrarchan poetry, the works of Shakespeare and other texts where the Virgin's presence or influence, sometimes surprisingly, can be found.

Abstract

This is the first title in the new series Boydell Medieval Texts, which will provide scholarly editions of major works with facing translation. Written c. 1135 by the Benedictine monk, historian and scholar William of Malmesbury (d. 1143), The Miracles of the Blessed Virgin Mary is of interest on several counts. It belongs in the first wave of collected miracles of the Virgin, produced by English Benedictine monks in the 1120s and '30s. These collections were to be influential across Europe and through the rest of the medieval period. Only two copies of William's work survive in anything like its complete form, and only one of them represents the finished product. But many of the stories were also transmitted separately, in groups or individually; the systematic use of this evidence is a feature of this new text. The work is written in elegant Latin and embellished with William's customary erudition, including frequent quotations and echoes from (sometimes unusual) ancient authors. His instinct as a historian is to the fore, as he tries to establish historical context and credibility for his stories. Above all, the scope of the collection is surprisingly international, including stories drawn from all around the Mediterranean. This is an important document in the history of Marian devotion in medieval Europe. In his long Prologue (which enjoyed some independent circulation), William argues strongly for the Virgin's Immaculate Conception and bodily Assumption, doctrines still not generally accepted in western Europe at the time. With the appearance of this book all of William of Malmesbury's major works are available in modern editions and translations.

Abstract

Depuis plus de 1000 ans, le culte marial se maintient dans l'Europe du Nord-Ouest comme dans d'autres régions du monde. Ce constat d'une réalité sur la longue durée ne peut pas s'expliquer uniquement par des effets de mode, des circonstances favorables : il s'agit d'une réalité objective qui s'est construite sur des bases religieuses, politiques, culturelles en constante évolution et qu'une démarche scientifique et laïque peut tenter d'éclairer. Loin d'être une simple « superstructure » au regard des éléments fondamentaux que seraient la vie économique et les évolutions politiques, la croyance a été et demeure un paramètre personnel et collectif pour une grande partie de la population mondiale. Dans cette prise de conscience de l'importance du fait religieux, le culte rendu à la Vierge tient une place particulière qui demeure d'actualité : Lourdes, Fatima, Czestochowa vivent au rythme marial.Entre les hypothèses faisant état d'un déclin de la foi et celles qui, au contraire, remarquent, au travers du maintien de ce culte ancestral, une permanence du sentiment religieux, il y a incontestablement place pour construire un espace de recherche. Cet ouvrage tente de saisir ce phénomène de manière résolument plurielle et multidimensionnelle en évaluant les grandes périodes d'apogée et de crises dans l'histoire de cette dévotion mais aussi en s'attardant sur des pratiques particulières relevant de la micro-histoire. La pérennité d'un tel culte au long des générations traduit la solidité des fondements tout autant émotifs, affectifs que théologiques. Cependant, au fi l du temps se manifestent des périodes de reflux où s'expriment des contestations, des dénégations quelquefois engendrées par les excès d'une telle ferveur. Nés de manière quelquefois spontanée ou portés par des légendes, des traditions qui demandent à être revisitées, les cultes mariaux continuent d'intriguer les chercheurs tant par la vitalité et la variété de leurs manifestations que par le paradoxe du mélange de traditions et de modernité.
