The bride of Christ goes to hell : metaphor and embodiment in the lives of pious women, 200-1500 / Dyan Elliott.

Following a long trajectory from Late Antiquity to the High Middle Ages, Dyan Elliott offers a provocative analysis of the changing religious, emotional, and sexual meanings of the metaphor of the sponsa Christi and of the increasing anxiety surrounding the somatization of female spirituality.
