--Booklist
"Winston-Allen has done her research well. The book makes for fascinating and educational reading and gives an important dimension to the rosary as we honor it today."
--Catholic Observer
"The author's research breaks new ground by investigating non-literary materials and the vernacular texts, especially German. She also extensively studied the artistic and other popular media of the 15th century. A comprehensive, integrative investigation that should appeal to all interested in Catholic religious practices and the cultural milieu of the Middle Ages."
--Library Journal
"Few of the devotional exercises arising in the late Middle Ages have been as popular, long-lasting, and influential as the rosary. Anne Winston-Allen shows us where the rosary came from and how it was adapted over time by writers, worshipers, and religious reformers. This fascinating and carefully researched book will interest a wide variety of readers."
--Richard Kieckhefer, Northwestern University
"The innovative work of Anne Winston-Allen proves without a doubt that Eamon Duffy's revisionist views of traditional religion have not fallen on deaf ears. . . . Winston-Allen pushes studies of Lollardy, witchcraft, magic, and heresy to the side and instead turns to the predominant symbol of late medieval piety: the rosary. In this unique examination of a religious object and its concomitant spirituality, she reveals significant and heretofore disregarded aspects of lay piety as it relates to gender, individuality, and lay initiative. . . . Winston-Allen brings this meaningful aspect of lay piety to the attention of English historians in a style that is readily accessible to both the academic and popular audiences."
--Sara M. Butler, Canadian Journal of History
