Overview

The twelve essays in this volume identify mutually interactive developments in media and saints’ cults at a time and in a place when both underwent profound change. Focusing on the Italian peninsula between 1400 and 1600, authors analyze specific sites of intense cultural production and innovation. The volume invites further study of saints of all sorts — canonized, popularly recognized, or self-proclaimed — in the fluid media environment of early modernity.

Alison Frazier is Associate Professor of History at the University of Texas in Austin. Her monograph Possible Lives: Authors and Saints in Renaissance Italy (2005) won the 2006 Gordon Prize from the Renaissance Society of America. Her current research addresses humanist contributions to the pre-Tridentine liturgy.

Good protein option with good taste
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 11.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
These shakes are delicious. There are a few things about them I love. First, they are gluten-free. Next, they are low in sugar. They are also low in calories, and are very tasty. They do not leave an aftertaste like a lot of protein shakes. I do find you need to really shake them well to get a good consistency. They are not clumpy, but sometimes have strands that give them a weird texture. However, this does not happen if you shake them really well. I like to blend mine with fruit, and never have this problem when I do that. They are also really convenient because you can grab them and go. The serving size is perfect too. I would recommend these if you are looking for a low sugar, protein drink.

Incredible, perfect
Flavor Name: Zero Ultra, Size: 16 Fl oz (Pack of 15)
This is definitely the best flavor of Monster! No calories, but full flavor. I can't get enough of this stuff. It does cost a bit, but it is worth getting every once in awhile as a treat. I love it, and I would definitely recommend it. There is a high level of carbonation, so it doesn't go flat too quickly.
