Mother Queens and Princely Sons: Rogue Madonnas in the Age of Shakespeare (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781137003799)

This study explores representations of the Madonna and Child in early modern culture. It considers the mother and son as a conceptual, religio-political unit and examines the ways in which that unit was embodied and performed. Of primary interest is the way mothers derived agency from bearing incipient rulers.
