Mysterious Mazes

Dr. Glover will explore depictions of gardens in medieval manuscripts, cartography, and architectural spaces, and consider the meanings these spectacular spaces had for those who enjoyed them.

Dr. Sarah Glover, Associate Professor of Art History, received a PH.D. in Art History from the University of Virginia where she specialized in the study of medieval manuscripts. Her early research focused on the inconography of illustrations of Marian Miracles appearing in devotional books made for women in late Medieval England. She has published on a wide range of topics from the Marian Miracle Cycle at Eton College to the motif of the Vagina Dentata in comtemporary American visual culture.
