Reviews

'... this well-written and well-illustrated volume provides many insights into the images analyzed here. Hiller has clearly scrutinized the images in question and offers much rich material, assembled both from her archival work and from the extensive published literature on which she draws. Her suggestive findings shed light on the quotidian lives of male and female religious, and her carefully nuanced visual analyses similarly illuminate the images that the residents would have seen daily.'
