Contents:
The immaculate conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary : conflict and conversation, 1854-1855 -- The immaculate conception and the elevation of the feminine, 1855-1860s -- "The woman highly blessed" : Marian art and Anna Jameson's "great hope," 1850s-1870s -- Revitalizing church and culture : the Marian heroines of Anna Dorsey and Alexander Stewart Walsh, 1880s-1890s -- Queen of heaven and queen of the home : Mary and models of domestic queenship, 1880s-1900 -- Epilogue. The immaculate conception proclamation's semicentennial.
Summary: Nineteenth-century America was rife with Protestant-fuelled anti-Catholicism. Elizabeth Hayes Alvarez reveals how Protestants nevertheless became surprisingly and deeply fascinated with the Virgin Mary. Documenting the Marian imagery that suffused popular visual and literary culture, Alvarez argues that Mary became a potent, shared exemplar of Christian womanhood around which Christians of all stripes rallied.
