Litaker's analysis is persuasive, clear, and interdisciplinary, using methodologies of literary criticism and art history in a sophisticated fashion. Her book will appeal to both specialists and to a wider audience interested in religion, Catholicism broadly, and early modern Germany., Litaker?s analysis is persuasive, clear, and interdisciplinary, using methodologies of literary criticism and art history in a sophisticated fashion. Her book will appeal to both specialists and to a wider audience interested in religion, Catholicism broadly, and early modern Germany., Litaker has written a wonderfully engaging study of Bavaria's catacomb saints that pays meticulous attention to the materiality of these spectacular whole-body relics and contextualizes them via a rich body of written evidence. The book explores the ways in which the dazzling skeletons evoked the history of the universal catholic church while simultaneously becoming deeply embedded in local devotional practices. It constitutes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of baroque piety and of the evolution of post-Reformation Catholic identity.
