Ruth Harris is Fellow and Tutor in Modern History at New College, Oxford, and she has written widely on Modern French History and the History of Medicine. In Lourdes she maintains an admirable objectivity on a subject that has attracted just as many hagiographies as fervent denunciations. This is a work of social history and it is not the authenticity of the original vision or the miracles associated with Lourdes that concern the author. Rather, it is the people involved and the way the pilgrimage became a focus for a mass movement within modern French society. Illustrated throughout with contemporary drawings and photographs, Lourdes is a book appropriate for historians and accessible to interested amateurs. --Douglas Pretsell
