"The volume comprises a collection of fascinating studies that celebrate and model the practice of interdisciplinary and collaborative research as the best way to analyze medieval devotion. It will be of interest to scholars working in any field of medieval studies, especially those who concern themselves with inter- or multidisciplinary approaches to medieval religion and its visual and material culture". Beth Williamson, in <i>Speculum</i> 95/3, July 2020.

Devotional Interaction in Medieval England and its Afterlives examines the interaction between medieval English worshippers and the material objects of their devotion. The volume also addresses the afterlives of objects and buildings in their temporal journeys from the Middle Ages to the present day. Written by the participants of a National Endowment for the Humanities-funded seminar held in York, U.K., in 2014, the chapters incorporate site-specific research with the insights of scholars of visual art, literature, music, liturgy, ritual, and church history. Interdisciplinarity is a central feature of this volume, which celebrates interactivity as a working method between its authors as much as a subject of inquiry.
