The tradition of praying litanies can be traced back to the early centuries of the Church. Of all the litanies to Mary, the most used and well known is the Litany of Loreto. It is named after its place of origin, the Shrine of Our Lady of Loreto in Italy, and was approved by Pope Sixtus V in 1587. Since then, the Litany of Loreto has been a source of inspiration not only for the faithful but also for poets, artists, musicians, and builders. Mother Most Powerful reflects on each of the fifty-four titles of Mary found in the Litany of Loreto. As Our Lady's Litany has for centuries, this book will draw you into love and veneration of the Blessed Mother in her titles. These illuminating reflections can be read and prayed in any order and in whatever frequency you choose. They could be the companion to a novena or read over the course of months or a year. Perfect for individual quiet time or a group study, this book will help you grow in devotion to Mary while learning about the Litany of Loreto and the beauty, history, and meaning of Mary's titles therein.

The Feminine Reclaimed breaks new ground in the field of Renaissance scholarship. Stevie Davies considers the feminine principle as it was developed through the humanist and Neoplatonic revival of ancient classical learning and from this perspective approaches the major works of the three great literary figures of the English Renaissance—Spenser, Shakespeare, and Milton. Through close, perceptive readings of their most crucial works, informed by a familiarity with the whole range of their context in the European literature and thought of their time, Stevie Davies is able to demonstrate the great importance of the feminine principle in the consciousness of these writers and their age, a time of political, religious, and social upheaval in which perceptions of woman and her status in society underwent momentous changes. She analyzes guiding symbols, mythical allusions, and literary structures in major works by the three poets to show that this rediscovered image of the feminine was incorporated into The Faerie Queene, Shakespeare's last plays, and Paradise Lost in such a manner as to create an alternative system of values which either redefined or criticized the patriarchal structures of the contemporary world.
