Manuscript submitted to Chicago UP. This book challenges contemporary understandings of hagiography as synonymous with uncritical acclamation, of belief as the static acceptance of dogma, and of beauty as that which “one does not have to work at” (Arthur Danto) by offering a theoretical study of medieval and early modern visual and textual manifestations of the legend of the holy-harlot Saint Mary of Egypt. Throughout its six chapters, the book also offers insights into how modern criticism came to lose sight of the surprising roles of beauty in religious texts.
