Description

Explore the deep cultural roots of one of England's most famous religious landmarks. Walsingham and the English Imagination by Gary Waller offers a unique look at the Shrine of our Lady of Walsingham. This interdisciplinary study moves beyond a standard history to examine how this site has shaped English identity from the Middle Ages to the present day. By combining perspectives from art history, literary criticism, gender studies, theology, and psychoanalysis, the book provides a fresh way to understand the site's transformation. You will learn about its origins as a major medieval pilgrimage destination, its period of destruction, and its twentieth-century revival that led it to be voted Britain's favorite religious site in 2006.
