In Search of Mary The Woman and the Symbol

"Cunneen is at her best in her treatment of versions of Mary common in the 19th century, describing the discovery of Mary as a liberating figure by Protestant women writers such as Christina Rossetti and Margaret Fuller, and in her descriptions of the work of some modern artists fascinated by the figure of Mary. Their work, she argues, allows us to look at Mary in fresh and nurturing ways....While providing a wealth of information, Cunneen's search is more a reflection of her own ongoing personal journey than a definitive statement."Cunneen, Sally is the author of 'In Search of Mary The Woman and the Symbol' with ISBN 9780345382467 and ISBN 0345382463.
