Conclusion: The Yearning of the Quest Appendix: Summary of William Caxton's Infantia salvatoris (c. 1477) Notes Works Cited Index AcknowledgmentsReviewsThe Christ Child, like the Man of Sorrows, was a regular presence in later medieval religion, but a complex and seemingly contradictory figure. He could be the subject of tender affective piety, but he could also be the mischievous child of apocryphal infancy narratives, lowly and vulnerable or lordly and powerful, the subject of imaginative narratives or the focus of meditation and prayer. With deeply impressive learning and clarity, Mary Dzon unfolds the complexities of the Christ Child in medieval culture. She gives the subject the careful and captivating attention it has long needed. -Richard Kieckhefer, Northwestern University The Quest for the Christ Child in the Later Middle Ages fills a major lacuna in the history of affective piety: the importance of the Christ Child in lay and clerical devotion from the twelfth to the fifteenth century. This book is a timely and novel exploration of terra incognita, with methodological relevance to scholars outside the fields of medieval spirituality. -William MacLehose, University College London Author InformationMary Dzon is Associate Professor of English at the University of Tennessee and coeditor of The Christ Child in Medieval Culture: Alpha es et O!.
