Dr Jennifer Welsh received her M.A. in Medieval Studies from Cornell University in 2000, and her M.A. and PhD in History from Duke University in 2004 and 2009. Her dissertation dealt with the cult of St. Anne in late medieval and early modern Europe. After four years as a Visiting Assistant Professor at the College of Charleston in Charleston, SC, she started working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at Lindenwood-University Belleville in Belleville, IL in August of 2014. This is her first book.
"Through vivid prose and sharp analysis, Welsh weaves together a series of compelling narratives that demonstrate how St. Anne’s cult adapted to the needs of different devotional movements. By synthesizing trends of a particular saint’s cult, Welsh extrapolates larger trends in Christian devotional practices. This well-researched project should be read by late medieval and early modem religious historians alike, who will appreciate the thoughtful commentary on the interconnected issues of religion, culture, and gender in medieval and early modem Europe."
