The Making of the Magdalen: Preaching and Popular Devotion in the Later Middle Ages
Katherine Ludwig Jansen
Uses the lens of medieval preaching to examine the mendicant friars' transformation of Mary Magdalen, a shadowy gospel figure, into an emblem of action and contemplation, a symbol of vanity and lust, a model of perfect penance, and the embodiment of hope and salvation.
