About the book

The Queen of Heaven explores the figure of the Virgin Mary and the extraordinary place she has occupied in Christian devotion, art and culture. The book examines the growth of Marian traditions, titles and imagery, from early Christianity through the medieval and later periods. Through theology, legend and visual representation, it shows how Mary became one of the most enduring and influential figures in European religious life.
