Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I am pulling together an Edited Collection called Suffering for Salvation and I would like to invite you to consider submitting one or more chapters

The abstract/call for the Collection is here:
The interactive nature of imagery in medieval texts allowed users to approach their devotions in a variety of ways. Images of holy figures were particularly potent and charged with symbolic meaning. This publication will explore how users of medieval manuscripts regarded images of suffering, internalizing what they viewed as a means for salvation.

Dr. Joni Hand earned her Ph.D. in art history from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. She is the author of Women, Manuscripts, and Identity in Northern Europe, 1350-1550 (Ashgate, 2013), and Bound for the Midwest (Southeast Missouri State University Press, 2017). Dr. Hand is Associate Professor of Art History at Southeast Missouri State University.

A Chapter should normally be no longer than 6000 words, and should be original and previously unpublished. If the work has already been published (as a journal article, or in conference proceedings, for example), the Publisher will require evidence that permission to be re-published has been granted.
