Böcker av Elizabeth L'Estrange

First detailed reconstruction of Anne de Graville's library, establishing her as one of the most well-read and erudite poets of the period.

This book brings images of holy motherhood and childbearing into the centre of an art-historical enquiry. By focusing on miniatures of the birth of the Virgin and the mothers of the Holy Kinship in Books of Hours, it reassesses the role of the female viewer as an active agent in the interpretation of pictures. -- .
