Reviews

""Without questioning the sincerity of her subjects’ religious convictions, Hernández convincingly locates their religious imaginings within a larger political world and identifies their socio-political implications. In this way, she offers an account of the religious imagination which is not only productive for scholars of religious studies, but also for theologians and artists interested in self-reflexively examining the implications of their own work."" - Matt Schramm, Emory University (Religious Studies Review )


Hernandez's multidisciplinary approach is innovative, coherent, and given the treatment of the immaculacy question in the period, such a study has been sorely lacking. - Dale Shuger, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, Tulane University Rosilie Hernandez's knowledge of scholarship and primary sources is impressive, and she communicates it with intellectual rigor and stylistic grace. I know of no other study which brings together art, literature, politics, religion, and cultural theory around the issue of immaculacy and religious imagination. - Darcy Donahue, Emeritus, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, Miami University
