Abstract
Abstract Iconoclasm is always an acknowledgement of the power of the image. Many of the chapters in this volume explore the consequences of the intense and mutually defining relationship between the love of images and their destruction. They do so, for the most part, in terms of the historical, social, political, devotional, and textual theories and practices of the later medieval and early modern period. During this period the image becomes the focus of extreme and often violent forms of contestation. The fact that such contestation pre-dates the Reformation is attested by all the chapters in this book.
