![]() ![]() No single narrative or analytical theme could ever explain the profusion of Marian devotion that Rubin documents. The heart of this book may be its description of the Western European Marian devotion of the Middle Ages, but its chronological and geographical span give it a significance that no more narrowly focused study could possibly have. Drawing with great sensitivity on a variety of sources-theological and devotional writings, music, poetry, and images-Rubin explores Mary’s significance not just for leading churchmen and nobles but also for ordinary laymen and -women. In twenty-three chapters, Rubin asks how and why Mary emerged from relative obscurity in the Gospels to become a “constant presence” (p. This is an astonishingly wide-ranging and detailed account of Marian devotion from the time of the early Church to the seventeenth century, with afterthoughts on Mary’s significance for the modern world. ![]()

Royce and Hadrian are back, but this time their ‘crooks for hire’ mentality has fallen by the wayside, somewhat, as real life and dreams get in the way. Collecting the third and fourth stories in Sullivan’s Riyria Revelations, Rise of Empire is a step down from the first two stories, but still a captivating and fun continuation of an interesting world.

McEwan’s next four novels, The Child in Time (1987), The Innocent (1990), Black Dogs (1992), and Enduring Love(1997), are more ambitious than the earlier books, more thoughtful-and equally vivid. The tags that attach themselves to writers can prove annoyingly sticky. These books earned him a nickname in the British press-Ian McAbre. And in fact, his earliest work-two collections of short stories, First Love, Last Rites (1975) and In Between the Sheets (1978), and two slim novels, The Cement Garden (1978) and The Comfort of Strangers (1981)-contain many painfully vivid, highly disturbing scenes, quite a few involving children.
