The history of the Virgin Mary in medieval theology is one of an ideologically useful vision of womanhood. This Element deploys the intellectual history of medieval thought to map the moves made in codifying Mary's perfection. It then uses contemporary gender and affect theory, mapping the emotional regimes of the medieval past upon the present.
