This book is part of Prospero's 31st birthday offer. If you order a book (marked with the balloon logo) from the birthday list online (in the online shop, by adding it to your shopping cart and placing the order) on 6 October 2025, we will give you a 20% discount on all these books on that day only.
Moreover, if you order at least three of these books (preferably in a single order), we will apply a 30% discount to the lowest-priced book after the order has been received.
If the total value of your order(s) of at least three birthday books reaches 100,000 HUF excluding VAT, we will apply the special 30% discount to the highest-priced book instead of the lowest one — but still only to a single book.
(You will not see the special 30% discount in your shopping cart, as it will be applied manually by our staff after your order has been received. It is important that your order is placed on 6 October; we will not be able to apply the discount before or after this date. The discount is available only for recipients of our ‘Favourite Topics Notification’ newsletter.)

Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This timely collection of essays on British and European Catholic spiritualities explores how ideas of the sacred have influenced female relationships with piety and religious vocations over time. Each of the studies focuses on specific persons or groups within the varied contexts of England, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain, together spanning the medieval period through to the nineteenth century.
Examining the interplay between women's religious roles and patriarchal norms, the volume highlights the relevance of gender and spirituality through a wide geographical and chronological spectrum. It is an essential resource for students of Gender History, Women's Studies and Religious Studies, introducing a wealth of new research and providing an approachable guide to current debates and methodologies.
